Who is David Fisher in Six Feet Under?
The dutiful son in the closet, then out of it · The Fishers
David Fisher (The dutiful son in the closet, then out of it) is a character in Six Feet Under, part of The Fishers. David Fisher stayed: ran the home while Nate fled, postponed law school, perfected the undertaker's composed murmur — and built a second sealed casket around himself, hiding his boyfriend Keith, a cop, from his family and his church. David's run is the show's great slow liberation: out of the closet, through self-loathing, hookups, a carjacking that shatters him, and into the series' most durable love story. The dutiful son becomes the only Fisher who actually learns to live inside the house of death.
