A versatile character actor, Fisher-Becker's work has covered a wide spectrum, from Shakespeare to pantomime, film, television, radio and theatre.

He was born at Paddington General Hospital and raised by his grandparents in Ruislip. He left school after A-levels and joined the Civil Service, while taking a degree in Business Administration. He then attended Drama College. Denholm Elliott was his mentor.

He was a committee member of Actors and Writers London, previously Hammersmith Actors and Writers Group -- HAWG, of which he was chair from 2000 to 2004, and is a co-founder of the Tilt-Yard Theatre Company which presents new writing and adaptations of established classics.

In March 2009, Fisher-Becker was a victim of crime - he was attacked at a petrol station by three youths and beaten badly. He was left with permanent damage to his spine (vertibrae C4-T2) and a damaged knee, which is why he now walks with a stick. The attack meant that he was still recovering from his injuries in December 2009 and therefore did not appear in panto. As a result, he was available for the casting to play Dorium Maldovar in Doctor Who.

In 2014, Fisher-Becker joined Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine in the comedy Puppy Love for the BBC.
