Fisk was art director on
Brian De Palma's
Carrie (1976), in which his wife,
Sissy Spacek, played the title role. He frequently collaborated with directors
Terrence Malick and
David Lynch (the latter of whom he knew since childhood). His production design and art director credits include all of Malick's first eight feature films and Lynch's
The Straight Story (1999) and
Mulholland Drive (2001). He has been nominated for the
Academy Award for Best Art Direction four times: for
Paul Thomas Anderson's
There Will Be Blood, for
Alejandro González Iñárritu's
The Revenant, for
Martin Scorsese's
Killers of the Flower Moon, and for
Josh Safdie's
Marty Supreme. Fisk appeared in Lynch's
Eraserhead (1977) as the Man in the Planet, and the film's credits give "special thanks" to him and to Sissy Spacek (who reputedly held the slates between takes). Fisk directed Spacek in the films
Raggedy Man and
Violets Are Blue with
Kevin Kline. ==Personal life==
