Michael Aaron Fishman grew up in Los Angeles, the middle of three children of Darlene, a nurse and Community College professor, and Nelson, a jeweller. Fishman launched his acting career while at elementary school after he met Roseanne Barr at an early audition. He would remain in the cast of the series from 1988 to 1997, appearing in 221 episodes. This role marked his life and career for good.
Fishman matriculated from Orange County High School of the Arts, and was accepted in college to study veterinary medicine, but opted to pursue a baseball career to help raise his younger brother. That didn’t work out for him, so he continued with his acting and appeared as a guest in “Seinfeld” (1997), and “Walker, Texas Ranger” (1999). Fishman also has three movie credits to his name; his debut came in 1997 in “Little Bigfoot 2: The Journey Home”. He also appeared in Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi drama “A.I.

However, after the death of a great friend and “Roseanne” colleague Glenn Quinn, Fishman decided to retire from professional acting in 2002. However, he was back four years later, but is without a fruitful and notable role since. His latest project is the movie “Undrafted” that was supposed to be released in 2014, but was postponed until 2016.
Regarding his personal life, Michael Fishman has been married to Jennifer Briner since 1999, and the pair has two children together.

#Quote
1[on beginning a script] I fight against the white on the page and the conventional thoughts that inevitably fill it first.
2[on writing] I'm inspired by the synchronicity of life. The moments that take our breath away, where we're on the edge of our seat and our eyes forced to well up
3[on Oprah about loving the crew]: I had about two hundred aunts and uncles who taught me everything I needed to know. The women taught me to be a hopeless romantic and the men taught me to be a strong willed man.
4My goal is to not only earn good work as an actor, but hopefully write and produce good work for others.
5I've always tried to be a positive example of the Entertainment Industry and overcome the perceived negative connotations of growing up a "Child Star". It was important to everyone from the show that all of us kids on Roseanne grow up to be responsible adults.
6Losing Quinny (Glenn Quinn) was a devastating for me. Glenn could light up any room, even the darkest night. His absence made me think about what I wanted in life and how short our time is. He sparked my return to acting. I think about him all the time.
7On raising his younger brother: "In a lot of ways we grew together. Taking care of him helped me matured. In so many ways he's like my first kid. Matthew would be the first to tell you I was strict and fair. I made all my really big parenting mistakes with him. My kids reap the benefits of that experience".
8I love being an actor. As a kid you know black and white, anger and happiness. Kids usually don't have the life experience to paint all the shades of gray. I was a happy kid living a dream surrounded by great people on Roseanne. Life teaches each of us nuanced conflicting emotion. I'm stronger personally and professionally from all my life experience.
9Hopefully I can be one more positive example of a person who grew up in this Industry and handled it with dignity and humility.
10As a child actor it's important to follow the examples of people like Ron Howard and Jodie Foster who not only have been successful as adults but as members of society.
