Fiss was born in San Diego, California. He attended Taft Middle School, part of the San Diego Unified School District in San Diego, California. At the age of 12, Fiss started his show business career in the young actors program at Multimedia Arts (MMA) of San Diego. Fiss's first acting job was playing the role of Nathan Lukowski in The Full Monty (musical), which opened in San Diego.[2] Fiss remained with the production when the show traveled to New York City, and celebrated his thirteenth birthday on Broadway, alternating with actor Nicholas Castro in the Nathan Lukowski role.
On December 14, 2000, Fiss's Broadway (New York City) career received notice in the San Diego City School's Staff Bulletin. Volume 75, Number 10 of the publication reads, "The Full Monty has taken a hold of Taft Middle School student Thomas Michael Fiss. Fiss has the role of Nathan Lukowski in New York's Broadway production of the award-winning musical, which had its birth at the Old Globe Theatre. The play is adapted from the popular English film about a motley male troupe of amateur strippers. Fiss plays the son of one of the would-be strippers. It's not just fun-and-games. Nightly performances are preceded by a full day of backstage schoolwork handled by his mother." On June 3, 2001, Fiss appeared at Radio City Music Hall for the 55th Tony Awards, performing a scene from The Full Monty (musical). A video of Fiss's 55th Tony Awards appearance can be viewed on the internet.[3]
As a high school senior, Fiss took part in a benefit to raise funds for the Coronado School of the Arts. The production was called "All You Need Is Love - Love of the Arts." The event was held at the Wyndham Emerald Plaza Hotel in downtown San Diego on February 12, 2005, and the students raised $32,000 for their school's programs.[4]
On June 16, 2005, Fiss graduated Coronado High School, a National Blue Ribbon School which is part of the Coronado Unified School District in Coronado (California). At the 7 p.m. ceremony, Fiss received the Coronado Longboard Surf Club Scholarship and the M.J. Brown Family Performing Arts Music Award. As part of the commencement exercises, Fiss accompanied himself on guitar as he sang his original composition, "Our Voices Are Meant to Echo".
