Biography

Stephen Kramer Glickman was born to a Jewish family of Russian descent in London, Ontario, Canada. His family moved to Carlsbad, California, where he became involved in doing community theatre.

He later attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

In 2007, Glickman was cast as Shrek in Shrek the Musical, and played the part in the original Broadway workshops and readings, before Brian d'Arcy James was cast in 2008.

Personal life

On the one month anniversary of the October 7 attacks, Glickman posted about his childhood experience with antisemitism, and stated "in Synogouge [sic] we are taught that being Jewish is more than a religion, it’s a people and that our homeland since the time of the Torah (6th century BC) is the land of Israel."
