Schuyler Fisk

Schuyler Elizabeth Fisk (pronounced ) is an American actress and singer-songwriter.

Early life

Fisk was born in Los Angeles, California, to actress Sissy Spacek and production designer Jack Fisk. She has a younger sister named Madison.

Fisk began acting in school plays as a child and eventually progressed to film. Her first role was as a bumblebee in a community theatre production of '' Charlotte's Web''. She played her first lead role, as the title character in '' Annie'', in sixth grade.

She married Chapman Bullock on May 26, 2012.

Career

Acting

Fisk got her film breakthrough in 1995 as Kristy Thomas in ''The Baby-Sitters Club''. Her next appearance came in the 2000 film '' Snow Day'' as Lane Leonard. She is perhaps most well known for her supporting role as Ashley in the 2002 teen comedy ''Orange County'', starring opposite Colin Hanks and Jack Black. Her notable TV appearances include an appearance on ''One Tree Hill'' as Daytona in the 2005 episode "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning", and an appearance on '' Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' as Ella Christiansen in the 2006 episode "Taboo." She played the overbearing and protective sister in the 2011 film '' Restless''.

Music

Solo career

Fisk plays the guitar, which she learned from her mother, and sang in various musicals as a child. She began writing and playing her own songs at age 15 and, in 2004, signed with Universal Records. In 2006, she put her acting career on hold in favor of honing her skills as a musician and recorded a demo with Joshua Radin, with whom she toured for two years. In early 2006 the duo wrote a song entitled "Paperweight." Radin introduced Fisk to Zach Braff, who in turn used the duet on the soundtrack of his film '' The Last Kiss''; the song was also included on the '' Dear John'' soundtrack. Various projects soon followed, including recording the song "I Just Remember Goodbye" for the film '' Gray Matters'' starring Tom Cavanagh, Heather Graham, and Bridget Moynahan, and "Waking Life" for the film ''Penelope'' starring Christina Ricci.

In 2008, Fisk amicably left Universal. Plans to release an EP were scrapped in favor of releasing a full-length album, which was released digitally on January 27, 2009, as a download at several online retailers. As of the week of February 4, 2009, Fisk's debut album ''The Good Stuff'', climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Folk Charts. On Amazon, Fisk's album ranked No. 17 on the Folk chart in MP3 albums. The album was well received by various media outlets, including the ''New York Times''. She then toured with Ben Taylor.

On March 1, 2011, Fisk released her second album, ''Blue Ribbon Winner'' (through her label Cassidy Barks), then toured alongside the band Harper Blynn (who collaborated with her on the title track of the album). In November 2011, Fisk released a Christmas EP titled ''Sounds of the Holiday'' on iTunes and Amazon. Tracks included holiday standards such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and " Silver Bells," as well as original Christmas music. Fisk's band FM Radio debuted an album titled ''Out of the Blue'' in April 2012.

Me and My Brother

Fisk joined another singer-songwriter in Carl Anderson and Sam Wilson, who had previously toured as part of Sons of Bill. The trio formed The Restless Hearts, though after an initial tour, the group changed their name to 'Me and My Brother'. Their first single to be released was called "Restless Heart".

Other pursuits

She graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia in 2006.
