His father hails from Riga, Latvia, and emigrated to Northern Rhodesia (present-day Zambia) during the 1930s, obtaining a degree in architecture from a British university. Goldberg's mother's family is based in Jerusalem. His parents first met when his father arrived in Israel for a vacation. They raised Iddo in Israel and later he went to secondary school at JFS in North London along with his siblings. He also has relatives in Haifa, Israel.

Goldberg has had several notable roles, including Brandon in the two series of Attachments and Ben on Secret Diary of a Call Girl; where his then girlfriend Ashley Madekwe also had a regular role. He appeared as semi-regular 15Peter20 in Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker's short-lived comedy Nathan Barley. He also appeared in the 2008 war film Defiance.

In 2013, Goldberg starred as Freddie Thorne in the first series of the BBC Two crime drama Peaky Blinders. He co-starred in the 2012 film And While We Were Here.

In addition to a Tumblr account that features his photographs, Goldberg makes short films that are posted there. He directed the short Supper (2012) with Joey Slotnick and Lauren Katz and music videos by James Rousseau, Anyone (Acoustic/Live) (2012) and Hair of the Dog (2012). Goldberg made a film, about his maternal grandmother, called Luba (2010).

In 2015, he appeared in the music video for the Disclosure song "Magnets" alongside Lorde.

Goldberg played villain T. O. Morrow and his android Red Tornado in the CBS series Supergirl in 2015. Between 2014 and 2017 he starred in Salem, alongside his wife, Ashley Madekwe.
