Early life

Glusman was born in The Bronx, New York City. His family moved to the Portland, Oregon area when he was six months old.[1] His father is German-Jewish and his mother is Irish Catholic.[2][3][4] He attended Lake Oswego High School and then enrolled at Portland State University, but dropped out after a year.[1] Aspiring to be an actor, he took acting courses while in college and at the Portland Actors Conservatory.[1] He later attended the William Esper Studio in New York City.[5]

Career

After shooting a television commercial for Adidas, Glusman relocated to France, where Argentine-French film director Gaspar Noé cast him in Love, a film depicting extensive unsimulated sex. It debuted at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. The premiere set a record for the festival, selling all 2,200 seats in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. In Cannes, Glusman met film director and fashion designer Tom Ford, who cast him in Nocturnal Animals (2016). Also in 2016, Glusman appeared in Nicolas Winding Refn's thriller The Neon Demon. In 2020, he appeared alongside Tom Hanks in Aaron Schneider's Greyhound.
