Noel Fisher: biography

The American version of the British comedian television series Shameless, which went on air in 2011, became even more popular than the original British comedy show. Taking the concept of the original show and adding elements of the American culture to it, Showtime TV Channel created a truly legendary series.

Among other things, the series owes its popularity and success to the actors who worked on it and put their mind and soul into it, everyone, starting from such well-established celebrities as William H. Macy and ending with such aspiring actors as Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher made an impact on the ratings of the show.

Childhood and youth

Noel Roeim Fisher (the full name of the actor) was born in Vancouver, the biggest city in the province of British Columbia. The happy event took place on March 13, 1984.

During the school years, the boy already demonstrated his creative skills. At the age of eight, Fisher signed up for music classes to learn how to play his favorite song "Please Mr. Postman" on the piano. It is a hit of The Marvelettes band, which became famous after the Liverpool four had performed it live.

Even though Noel showed his talent and learning ability, the guy couldn't overcome his natural shyness. It became the reason for the fact that during his first performances as a part of concerts given by his musical school, he would sit with his back turned to the audience. Later he managed to deal with this fear.

Noel appeared on the screen for the first time at the age of fourteen, having participated in the television sports drama movie The Sheldon Kennedy Story directed by Norma Bailey (Outlander, Beauty and the Beast). For his work on this movie, Fisher was nominated for Gemini Awards, given by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, for the first time in his life, which became a good omen at the dawn of his career.

The next project with Fisher's participation was called 2gether. At first, it was meant to be just a television film by MTV, created by Nigel Dick in the genre of musical comedy. However, the success of the movie led to the production of a television series under the same title. The only difference was that in the film, Noel played just a cameo role, whereas in the television series he became a full-fledged supporting character named Gary Long.
