Freddie Stroma (born January 8, 1987) is an English actor and model, who played Cormac McLaggen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He studied neuroscience at University College, London (UCL).
He will reprise the role of Cormac McLaggen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Freddie Stroma was born in London, England on 8 January, 1987. Although he was born in London, he was raised in the nearby town of Ascot and was the middle child of three with an older sister and a younger brother.
According to the man himself, "I'm the crazy one in the family. When I was young, I never really thought I would go into acting. At that age I wanted to be a ninja, but the dream to be an actor started when I was sixteen."
His aspiration came true when he was accepted into the highly prestigious National Youth Theater, which has led to five prominent acting roles (Mayo, Casualty, The Last Flight to Kuwait, Lady Godiva and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince).
Besides his polite manners, athleticism and charming good looks, Stroma also has the brains. While juggling his film roles and a side gig in modeling to help pay for tuition, he earned a neuroscience degree with high marks from the University College of London in June. After taking a year long break from his studies to film, Stroma went back to school to finish his degree as it "would have been a shame to just throw it away."
