Career

Sherman has starred in several films and television as well as providing voice acting for several video games, including Pac-Man in Pac-Man World 3, the first time the character ever had a voice actor in his games. From 2009 to 2015, Sherman voiced Thomas and Percy in the US version of the children's television series Thomas & Friends, as well as providing their voices for the Day out with Thomas dummy units (and the steam locomotive at the Strasburg Rail Road). He also voiced Diesel in the show's US dub from 2013 to 2015, taking over from former U.S. narrator Michael Brandon.[3] [4] [5] After Sherman's departure from the series, Joseph May, Christopher Ragland, and Kerry Shale had taken over the roles of Thomas, Percy, and Diesel respectively, though Shale had already voiced the character in the U.K. dub.

In addition to his acting work, Sherman is also an inventor, specializing in ocean engineering.
