Current profession: Operations Manager of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

Partner:  Francis Albacore

Background:

Mr. Herriman's origins are somewhat obscure even to him! But this imaginary friend does tell us that Ms. Foster was hardly his first child. In fact Mr. Herriman was the childhood companion to the children of the stars of the silver screen. During his stay he did pick up a few things on acting and dance. Most notably, he should be noted for his appearance-or lack there of? -in the movie "Harvey" where he worked along side James Stewart.

After moving on from that he found himself in the company of aristocratic families. This is perhaps where he acquired his famous fascination for rules and order. This is also where he learned ballroom dance, needing to do so at the parties held by his children's parents. He became quite good at it, but this skill never went beyond social necessity.

It was then that he met a young Ms. Foster whose wild tendencies he found frustrating at times. However this odd couple became fast friends and when the time came Herriman fully expected to be moving on trying to find another child. That time never came though, and Ms. Foster refused to give him up. It was then that they decided to start a home for imaginary friends, a place where they could go and try to find new families. Ever since Mr. Herriman has been at the helm keeping things in order.

But time and again Mr. Herriman finds himself recalling old memories in front of the camera and on the dance floor. A time when he could let himself go for a while and not worry about who was watching.
