Interview Mickey Fisher Newsdesk Share with:Ahead of the Channel Premiere of sci-fi drama EXTANT on Horror Channel, series creator & writer Mickey Fisher reflects on being plucked from relative obscurity, working with Steven Spielberg and hoping for life on Mars…Did you know from a young age that you wanted to be a writer? Going to see STAR WARS is one of my earliest memories, but I didn’t quite understand what I was really watching. I went to The College Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati to study Musical Theatre, and it wasn’t until I was there that I really started writing. So after I wrote the pilot I didn’t have a lot of options for what to do with it. Within two weeks, I had a manager and had signed with WME, one of the biggest agencies in the world.
