What is Joshua Herdman's net worth?
Joshua Herdman is an English actor who has a net worth of $3 million.
Joshua Herdman is best known for his role as Gregory Goyle in the Harry Potter film series, appearing in all eight films from 2001 to 2011. Like many of the child actors in Harry Potter, this was his breakthrough role and the one for which he remains most recognized. As Goyle, he played one of Draco Malfoy's main sidekicks and part of the Slytherin gang that frequently antagonized Harry Potter and his friends.
Born in Hampton, London in 1987, Herdman came from an acting family background – his father Martin Herdman is a professional actor. He began his acting career at a young age, securing the role of Goyle when he was around 13 years old.

After the Harry Potter series concluded, Herdman made an interesting career pivot by becoming involved in mixed martial arts (MMA). He made his amateur fighting debut in 2016, demonstrating his commitment to the sport through rigorous training and competition. This career change garnered significant media attention, particularly among Harry Potter fans.
In terms of his post-Potter acting career, Herdman has continued to work in the entertainment industry, though more sporadically. He appeared in the 2018 film "Robin Hood" alongside Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx. He has also had roles in British television shows and independent films, including appearances in "Marcella" (2016) and "The Estate" (2020).
His dual career as both an actor and MMA fighter represents an unusual path compared to many of his Harry Potter castmates. Herdman has spoken openly about his transition into combat sports, describing it as a natural progression that helped him maintain focus and discipline after his early success in acting.
Like several other Harry Potter alumni, Herdman occasionally appears at fan conventions and events related to the franchise, maintaining a connection with the fan community that helped launch his career.
