Though Spotlight Star Jaishon Fisher is celebrating his 12th birthday this September, his accomplishments far outnumber his years. Jaishon is leaving his mark throughout Hollywood, beginning at the age of three when he landed a re-occurring role on Aaron Spelling's Lifetime show, 'Any Day Now'. Since then, Jaishon has starred in numerous national commercials, and has co-starred on shows such as 'All of Us', 'ER' and 'That's So Raven'. He and his older sister Jamai also appeared on Steve Harvey's 'Big Time', in the original sketch, 'Kid's Review' where they critiqued everything from films, to food and fashion. Jaishon will make his film debut on September 19, 2008, starring in the thriller 'Lakeview Terrace' as the son of Samuel L. Jackson. Jaishon will also star in TNT's upcoming original movie, 'Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story' as young Bennie Carson who grew up in a rough inner-city neighborhood and later became the director pediatric neurosurgery at a prestigious hospital. We can't wait to see Jaishon in these roles as he expands his acting range and skills. With a lively personality, a contagious confidence, and an enormous screen presence, Jaishon Fisher is a star who shows that age truly is just a number when it comes to success.
