What is Dominique Fishback’s net worth?
Dominique Fishback boasts a net worth of over $1 million in 2023.
As a professional actress, Dominique began her career in 2014 in the television series The Knick and The Affair. The following year, she had the opportunity to appear in quite a few shows such as The Americans, Blue Bloods, Royal Plans and Show Me a Hero.
But it wasn’t until 2017 that she landed her first recurring role as “Donna ‘Darlene’ Pickett” on the television series The Deuce. She then went on to play “Najja” in Random Acts of Flyness (2018), “Robin” in Project Power (2020), “Deborah Johnson” in Judas and the Black Messiah (2021), “Lil” in Modern Love (2021), “Robyn” in The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey (2022), and now, she’s playing “Dre” in the new Amazon Prime series Swarm.
Swarm is a horror comedy series about Dre’s obsession with a fictional Beyoncé-like pop star, Ni’Jah (Nirine S. Brown), coupled with her love for her adopted sister Marissa (Chloe Bailey), leads her down a path of violence.
But Dominique was actually originally cast as Marissa, not Dre! “I’m used to being a likeable or likable character and, honestly, you get comfortable with that—I love that!” Fishback revealed ahead of the March 17 premiere of Swarm. “But I had to get out of my own way to be the artist, the actor, that I came here to be.”
So she chose to play Dre.
Recalling the conversation when Dominique first asked for the role, Donald Glover said, “I was like, ‘You want to play a killer? Oh, really?’ She seemed so sweet, like someone you’d want to take care of, but she wanted to do the opposite, which I completely understood even in my own career. She wanted to expand, and I was happy to let her do that.”
Thanks to Dominique’s dedication as an actress, she even made it to Forbes’ 2019 “30 Under 30 – Hollywood & Entertainment” list.
Did you know: Dominique was a member of the Opening Ensemble for the 2017 and 2018 readings, serving as both actor and playwright in the latter.

In addition to her biological father, Dominique also considers her film industry father Anthony Mackie as her mentor.
As for her loving mother, she was the one who taught Dominique how to drive right before she hit the fire hydrant. Even now, whenever they get home, the mother and daughter still play Koffee’s “Toast” while they enjoy breakfast.
Last we checked, Dominique’s parents were still alive.
Unfortunately, her beloved grandmother passed away long ago. It seems she left this world even before Dominique became famous. This is also one of Dominique’s biggest regrets. “I said I wanted to be famous before my grandmother passed away. I wanted her to see that her granddaughter Bklyn would be bigger than anything we could ever imagine,” she explained.
