Josh Herdman was educated at Orleans Park School.
Josh Herdman started acting when he was about seven. His father is an actor and got him an agent. Josh got his big break when he auditioned for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and got the part of Gregory Goyle. However, this part was not the first one the actor tried for in the Harry Potter world. The actor audition for Dudley Dursley‘s role but after some auditions, he lost the part to Harry Melling.
In this saga of fantasy movies, Josh Herdman had a role of the henchman of Draco Malfoy – the biggest archnemesis of Harry Potter in Hogwarts. Gregory Goyle was one of two guys walking everyone with Draco. He, as were all the other scholars of Slytherin house, was a pure-blood sorcerer but because of big height and small mind, he was considered to be a goon of Draco. Josh Herdman was the one of only 14 actors in Harry Potter movies that played his role from the first to the last movie. He was living in Harry Potter‘s universe for all 10 years.
After he finished with his role in Harry Potter movies, Josh Herdman started doing something absolutely different. He started to work out a lot and began his career in the MMA ring. However, the actor is not leaving acting behind. Herdman appeared as Righteous in the 2018 film Robin Hood, alongside Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Dornan.

2018Quotations: "I chose MMA because I love sport. It’s raw, exciting and unpredictable. I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training. I would like a few amateur fights first to get me started and where it goes from there, who knows?"
In his spare time, Josh Herdman enjoys going back home to Hampton, spending time with friends and family, reading, and writing.
