His parents divorced during his childhood and his mother moved with him to Brooklyn, New York where he was raised. Fishburnes father saw him once a month.

He is a graduate of Lincoln Square Academy in New York which closed in the 1980s.
Fishburne started acting at age twelve getting his big break in 1973 portraying Joshua Hall on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live. He was initially cast in the hit television series Good Times, but the role was eventually given to Ralph Carter. Fishburnes most memorable childhood role was in Cornbread, Earl and Me in which he played a young boy who witnessed the police shooting of a popular high school basketball star. Fishburne later earned a supporting role in Francis Ford Coppolas Apocalypse Now, in which he played a 17-year-old sailor nicknamed Mr. Clean. When production began in March 1976 he was just fourteen, apparently lying about his age to get the part.
