Career

[edit | edit source]

In 2014, Fishback premiered her Off-Off-Broadway play Subverted, in which she played twenty two characters.[9][10][11] Subverted was nominated for a 2015 Innovative Theater Award for Outstanding Solo Performance.[12][13] The actress's first major recurring role was in the Yonkers housing drama Show Me a Hero as single mother Billie Rowan.[14] In 2016, Abingdon Theatre Company announced Fishback as one of the recipients of its inaugural Residency Program.[15][16]

Her first series regular role was in the 1970s Times Square drama The Deuce.[17] Fishback has been noted as one of the standouts in the show due to her performance as the "sweetly vulnerable" prostitute Darlene.[18][19] Co-creator David Simon has noted her strengths as an actress in playing Darlene.[20] For her role on The Deuce, Fishback was listed by USA Today as one of five new faces that people should be watching on fall 2017 television.[21]

In December 2017, Fishback appeared as a younger version of Jay-Z's mother, Gloria Carter, in his music video for "Smile."[22] Her first film, Night Comes On, premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.[23] She also played the part of Kenya in the film The Hate U Give (2018), which is based on the popular young adult book.[24]

Fishback plays a street-smart teenager in Project Power, which was released on August 14, 2020, by Netflix.[25][26] In 2021, she starred in Judas and the Black Messiah as Deborah Johnson, the partner of Fred Hampton. In 2023, she starred in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the sequel to Bumblebee.
