Schuyler Fisk’s IMDb page tells the tale of her early screen roles. Although the film was directed by her father, legendary production designer Jack Fisk, she did not appear with her mom Sissy Spacek in her film debut, 1990’s “Daddy’s Dyin’… Who’s Got the Will?” However, the mother-and-daughter duo appeared in the civil rights drama “The Long Walk Home” that same year; the movie also starred Whoopi Goldberg and Ving Rhames. The following year, in 1991, Fisk appeared in another of her mother’s films, “Hard Promises,” which also starred William Petersen. Then, in 1994, Fisk was seen in “Trading Mom,” a comedy starring Spacek. Fisk is credited as “Suzy” in the film.
That makes “Sam & Kate” the fourth feature film collaboration between Spacek and Fisk. But there is one more screen collaboration that should be noted here.
On Season 1 of the Hulu horror series “Castle Rock,” Spacek returned to the world of Stephen King following her iconic performance in “Carrie.” She plays Ruth Deaver, the estranged adoptive mother of protagonist Henry Matthew Deaver (André Holland). If you’ve seen the show, you might remember some regular flashbacks showing Ruth as a younger woman -– in these flashbacks, the character is played by none other than Schuyler Fisk.
