David H. Holmes

1983 (42 года)
David Holmes (born December 1, 1983) is a British podcast host and former actor and stunt performer. He served as Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double for the first six Harry Potter films and portrayed a Slytherin beater in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, although a credit error mistakenly lists him as Adrian Pucey, a role played by Scot Fearn.

In January 2009, Holmes suffered severe injuries and was left partially paralyzed after an accident during a stunt test for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He is credited as a stunt performer in the final film.

After his injury, Holmes took up automobile racing, using hand controls to drive. Together with two friends who are also paralyzed, he founded Ripple Productions, which launched the podcast Cunning Stunts in 2020, featuring interviews with stunt actors to raise awareness about their risks.

A documentary titled David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, detailing his life, premiered at Doc NYC on November 13, 2023, and was released on HBO on November 15, 2023, with Daniel Radcliffe as the executive producer.
