My Take

Joshua Herdman is fascinating to me because of his second act. Most people know him only as Gregory Goyle from the Harry Potter films, a role he played from childhood through the whole series, which is its own kind of pressure. What I admire is that he didn't coast on it, he became a mixed martial arts fighter, a genuinely demanding pivot that takes real discipline. Growing up in Hampton and spending his formative years on one of the biggest film franchises ever, then choosing the cage, says a lot about wanting to define himself on his own terms rather than stay frozen as a childhood character.
