About me

Finders-Keepers, a crime drama 4 mini-series will air from Jan. 17th on Channel 5 in the UK. Herbert plays Gregorie LeChamps alongside Neil Morrisey and others.

Wonderful review for Herbert's lead role in the THE TWO GAMBITS Film, which will be released early 2024:(WINNER Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, SEMI FINALIST in the San Francisco Arthouse Short Film Festival)
'The entire cast delivers captivating performances, but it is Forthuber’s portrayal of the soft-spoken Walter that truly steals the show. His nuanced performance keeps viewers glued to the screen, empathizing with his character’s journey of redemption and the unexpected reunion right under his nose'
