Early life

Glusman was born in The Bronx, New York, where his parents met while studying medicine. The family moved to Oregon while he was six months old to raise him in the Portland area.[1] He is of German Jewish and Irish Catholic descent.[2] He attended Lake Oswego High School, and then enrolled Portland State University, but dropped out after a year.[1] He took acting courses while in college, as well as at the Portland Actors Conservatory.[1] Aspiring to be an actor, he later attended the William Esper Studio in New York.[3]

Career

After shooting a television commercial for Adidas, Glusman flew to France. There, through a mutual acquaintance, he met acclaimed Argentine-French film director Gaspar Noé. Noé cast Glusman in Love, a film depicting extensive unsimulated sex. It debuted at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. The premier set a record for the festival, completely selling out all 2,200 seats in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in under six minutes with over 600 people still trying to gain entrance to the projection which resulted in physical altercations. It was in Cannes where Glusman met film director and fashion designer Tom Ford, who would then cast him in his film, Nocturnal Animals (2016). Also in 2016, he appeared in Nicolas Winding Refn's thriller The Neon Demon.
