Even though the actor is straight his sexuality is often questioned in interviews. Fisher has responded to the controversy as such, "I don't look at Mickey as a gay character. I look at him as a person, who happens to be gay. I think it's weird how we, as a society, try to put the LGBTQ community in a box, when in fact, they're just people. They have the same complexities as you and me. That's how I look at Mickey, as a complex person." Fisher was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia.
