Fisher was born on 13 March 1984 in Vancouver, British Columbia. He began his acting career at the age of 14 in the television film The Sheldon Kennedy Story. During his time as a young actor in Vancouver, he was encouraged to "take many different classes". Fisher "fell in love" with piano, which he studied for eight years.

Fisher began his acting career at age 14. He debuted in 1999 with The Sheldon Kennedy Story, a sports drama film about ice hockey player Sheldon Kennedy. His performance landed Fisher his first Gemini Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Program or Series at the 15th Gemini Awards. He also starred as Freddie in season 1 of Two and a Half Men in 2004. He gained a second Gemini nomination in the same category with the TV series Godiva's in 2005. He played Brian Gibbons in Final Destination 2 in 2003, one of his first roles in an American film. From 2007, Fisher became more known by the public due to the FX series The Riches, portraying Cael Malloy, the conniving and clever son of Wayne (Eddie Izzard) and Dahlia (Minnie Driver). Fisher has received critical acclaim for playing Mickey Milkovich, a gay thug character on Shameless from 2011 to 2021. In 2014, Vanity Fair named his relationship with Cameron Monaghan's Ian Gallagher the best-written gay couple on television. Though Fisher is straight, his sexuality is often questioned in interviews. He has responded to the controversy: I don't look at Mickey as a gay character. I look at him as a person, who happens to be gay. I think it's weird how we, as a society, try to put the LGBT community in a box, when in fact, they are just people. They have the same complexities as you and me. That's how I look at Mickey, as a complex person. In 2017, Fisher starred in the National Geographic docuseries The Long Road Home. He played Pfc. Tomas Young, the Iraq War veteran who famously became a war protester after being paralyzed during an ambush only days after being sent to fight overseas. Fisher told creator Mikko Alanne he would not accept the part unless he could meet with Young's family; "That's how committed he was to doing it right". Fisher played Ellison "Cotton Top" Mounts in the award-winning miniseries Hatfields & McCoys as well as Vladimir, a 1,500-year old vampire in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. In May 2020, he starred opposite Tom Hardy in the Al Capone biopic Capone as Junior, Capone's son. He starred in the limited CBS series The Red Line and had a recurring role in the Hulu series Castle Rock. He also had roles in Bones, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Fear the Walking Dead and The Conners and A Dog Named Christmas.

Since November 2004, Fisher has been in a relationship with actress Layla Alizada. The couple got engaged in 2014, and were married on July 15, 2017.
