Glenn A. Bruce was born in Miami, Florida, to William Arden Bruce, an aircraft router for Eastern Airlines, and Verona Sizemore Bruce, a mechanical draftsman and advertising executive for Panelfold Doors. From sixth grade onward, Glenn discovered he could "write his way through school," starting by editing the school newspaper and continuing in college. A professor once suggested he try writing for TV and arranged for a writer-producer friend to send him a copy of "Hello Larry." However, upon reading it, Glenn realized sitcom writing was not his path. Despite this, he moved to L.A. in 1979, worked for rental houses Leonetti and PSI, and nearly became a Teamster driver. That fall, he enrolled in one of Syd Field's first classes at Sherwood Oaks Experimental College, an experience that transformed his life. Within two months, Glenn wrote his first screenplay, "Sudden Courage," which earned him his first agent and was optioned multiple times. He recognized screenwriting as his true calling. His initial sale was sketch material for "Assaulted Nuts" (Cinemax), leading to several close opportunities writing specs for "Quincy, M.E." and "Simon and Simon." His major break came when he was asked to write "Bloodsport," though he eventually lost that assignment. Nevertheless, he went on to develop and write "Kickboxer," widely regarded as Jean-Claude Van Damme's breakout film. This success led to similar action credits and eventually work on "Baywatch" and "Walker: Texas Ranger." In 1997, Glenn developed "Deconstruction" with Jonathan Frakes, who later returned to direct "Star Trek: Insurrection," marking another near miss. In 2000, Glenn relocated to the mountains to teach Screenwriting, Acting for the Camera, and Video Production A-Z at Appalachian State University. He has also written, directed, and produced commercials and industrial videos and developed feature films for directing and producing.
