Detailed Biography of Antwone Fisher

Antwone Quenton Fisher was born in prison to his teenage mother.  He became a ward of the state of Ohio and was placed in foster care immediately. He spent two years in a loving foster home, but when it was apparent that the foster mother had become too attached to Antwone, deeming a reunion with his birth mother too difficult for the child, he was placed in a foster home where he would suffer twelve years of abuse at the hands of the foster family.  He survived the cruelties of foster care and the brutalities of homelessness and set on a course of healing after joining the United States Navy where he served his country for eleven years.  

Currently, Antwone works as a screenwriter, author and film producer.  New York Times Bestseller Finding Fish: A Memoir is the inspiring story of his incredible life’s journey.  The film, Antwone Fisher, based on Fisher’s life and written by Fisher himself reflects on Fisher’s life as a sailor and as a child growing up in Cleveland. Through his collection of poetry titled, Who Will Cry For The Little Boy?, now one of the best selling books of poetry of all time, Fisher reveals the inner truths that took him from a tumultuous childhood to the man he is today.

Among Fisher’s many achievements and accolades include the Christopher Award, for the film Antwone Fisher, the Humanitas Prize for writer and for co-producer of Antwone Fisher, an NAACP Image Award for the film Antwone Fisher, Screenwriter of the Year Award 2002, National Associations of Theater Owners, a nomination for Best Original Screenplay from The Writer’s Guild of America, west for the film Antwone Fisher, The National Angel in Adoption Award for 2002 and in 2005 Antwone was announced to be one of the top 100 people in Hollywood you need to know, by Fade In magazine “The First Word In Film”.  In May, 2003, in recognition of his professional achievements as an author, producer, poet and screenwriter, his loyalty to his community, his personal triumphs and his indomitable spirit it was conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by Cleveland State University.
