At twelve years old, Nell is set to become a major talent- versatile, funny and poised.  

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things just welcomed GCM's #NellFisher (@therealnellfisher) to the cast. You will also find Nell in the new adventure comedy film #Bookworm with reviews like: “She’s just phenomenal. Nell has that rare quality that comes alive on screen, inhabiting a character from top to toe. She’s going to be a major talent. Watch this space.”

Nell’s refined intelligence and advanced reading age adds to her maturity and ability to immerse herself entirely in her character’s world. 

Fisher's creen highlights include the post-apocalyptic action feature film Northspur where she played the role of Tia and was praised for her conviction and focus, Warner Bros Evil Dead Rise playing the role of Kassie, soon to be released Rom-Com Netflix film Choose Love playing the role of Louisa and Season 3 of the Australian & New Zealand series My Life is Murder.  Nell will next grace the big screen in the family-friendly feature Bookworm, where she stars as Mildred alongside Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit), filmed in New Zealand.

Her international upbringing with her British Mother and New Zealand Father and living in South Africa, New Zealand & London makes her adaptable and worldly-wise.

Gail Cowan, the founder and manager of the internationally recognised talent agency GCM Management that represents Fisher. As an agent, Cowan’s been talent spotting since 1983 representing household names such as Academy Award winners Anna Paquin and Keisha Castle-Hughes and Aotearoa’s fellow rising star Thomasin McKenzie. Cowan also found herself instantly drawn to Fisher.

“I was in awe of her right from the first time we met,” Cowan recalls. “She was about 8 or 9 at the time and conducting herself with adults in such an incredibly mature way. She has a luminosity on film and all the right engaging qualities in terms of her look. But she also has intelligence, wit and tenaciousness.”

Acting is in Fisher’s blood. Her father, Toby Fisher, was an actor best known for playing the lead role in Ian Mune’s film The Whole of the Moon in 1997, before giving up the screen to focus on law. But he wasn’t her inspiration to start acting herself. Instead, it was her older brother.
