David Holmes (born 1 January 1981) is a British podcast host, former actor and stunt performer.
Career
[edit]Holmes was the stunt double for Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter in the first six films of the Harry Potter film series. He played a Slytherin beater in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but an error in the film's credits lists him as playing the character Adrian Pucey instead; that role was actually played by Scot Fearn.[2]
In January 2009 Holmes was seriously injured and left partially paralysed after an accident during the filming of a stunt test for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.[3][4][5] He is credited in the finished film as a stunt performer.
After becoming disabled, he took up automobile racing, driving a car with hand controls which he could operate. With two friends – also paralysed – Holmes started Ripple Productions, which in 2020 launched a podcast with Daniel Radcliffe, called Cunning Stunts, interviewing other stunt actors to raise awareness about the risks they face.[6][7]
David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, a documentary about Holmes's life, premiered at Doc NYC on 13 November 2023 before being released on HBO on 15 November 2023.[8] Daniel Radcliffe served as the film's executive producer.[9]
