Joshua Herdman

Joshua Colin M. Herdman (born 9 September 1987)

Early life Herdman was born in Hampton, London.

Josh and his father Martin Herdman were involved in a motorcycle accident on 15 September 2015 in Hounslow while navigating a small roundabout. Their motorcycle skidded on oil and the two were thrown off, knocked unconscious and sustained injuries. Both were left waiting with police, who arrived shortly after the accident, for an ambulance for approximately 90 minutes after the accident. The police were reportedly unable to take them to a hospital in their cars due to the two men's injuries and a supposed lack of insurance coverage if something were to happen while en route. At some point, another ambulance had stopped and passed by but was unable to attend to them possibly because it had been full or was attending to another emergency. Eventually an ambulance arrived at 3:59 pm, almost an hour and a half after the accident, as other ambulances had been diverted to higher priority calls. They were taken to West Middlesex University Hospital. Martin suffered a torn ligament on his ankle and additional cuts and bruises.

Career Herdman started acting when he was about seven years old; his father found him an agent. At age 13, he was cast as Gregory Goyle, a sidekick of villain Draco Malfoy, in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). Over the next decade, he returned as Goyle in all seven sequels. He was originally considered for the role of Dudley Dursley, Harry's spoiled cousin, but it went to Harry Melling. He said that he needed a change of scene after acting work had dried up.

Personal life Herdman has two sons.
