moved to New York to attend
New York University. After graduating with a degree in English, he began a career in
journalism. He was executive editor of the popular alternative magazine Crawdadddy, and
contributed articles to publications such as Rolling Stone, Playboy and Esquire.
Although Glazer's uncle is producer Sid Glazer ("The Producers"), it was a profile
of comic actor John Belushi for Crawdaddy that really led to Glazer's introduction to the
motion picture business: an unproduced comedy screenplay which would have starred
Belushi. Glazer's first film credit was "Mr. Mike's Mondo Video," on which he
collaborated with writer Michael O'Donoghue.
In 1988, Glazer and O'Donoghue wrote the screenplay for the big screen comedy
"Scrooged," starring Bill Murray and directed by Richard Donner. He next wrote "Off and
Running," which starred David Keith and Cyndi Lauper. In 1992, Glazer and Adam
Greenman wrote the romantic comedy "Three of Hearts," which toplined William Baldwin,
Kelly Lynch and Sherilyn Fenn.
Upcoming projects for Glazer include an as-yet-untitled comedy based on the
French hit "Grosse Fatigue," in which Bill Murray will star and make his feature film
directorial debut; and the tentatively-titled "Fireflies," which Glazer will direct for producer
Robert Zemeckis.
