In 2016, he was cast as Benn Gunn in Black Sails, and the role helped establish him as a talented young star who is capable of doing lots of good work. Now he’s back again with the chance to show the world that he can do even more. He has a main role in the HBO series, Raised by Wolves, and fans are excited to see him back on the screen again.

1. He Was Raised In South Africa
Even though Chris Fisher has had his fair share of TV roles, there still isn’t much information floating around about him. For that reason, many people may not even know that he is a native of South Africa. He was born and raised there and is currently based in Cape Town.
2. He’s Been In The Industry For Almost A Decade
Some people may think that his role on Black Sails was his debut appearance, however, he had actually been in the industry for a few years at that point. He made a small appearance in the 2011 film, Blue Crush 2, which, according to IMDB, marked his first on screen appearance.

4. He Doesn’t Have A Large Following On Social Media
Chris has built a strong fan base since throughout his career, but unfortunately that hasn’t translated very well to his social media presence. Although he does have an Instagram account and is fairly active, he only has a little more than 2,000 followers. If Raised by Wolves becomes a hit, there’s a chance his follower count will increase.
5. He’s A Family Man
Chris’ career isn’t the only thing he’s devoted lots of time to. He’s also a very dedicated family man who has a son and a longterm partner.

7. He Plays The Drums
Acting isn’t the only trick Chris has up his sleeve, he is also a huge music fan who has been playing the drums for many years. Although it doesn’t look like he’s released any music of his own, he loves to perform and has done so at different venues in South Africa.
8. He Likes To Draw
