Naomi Glick was born in Portland, Oregon, on September 26th. She's an American actor, with French, English, Irish, Swiss, Romanian and Polish ancestry. Her father is a landscape architect/urban designer, and mother is a cultural resources manager/vice president of an environmental consulting company. She is the second of three kids. Beginning at age three, Naomi took tap-dance and ballet classes. She first acted at age five. Naomi was accepted into an elementary school for the performing arts (Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School), and resided in Portland with her family until 1995 - when the family moved to Washington. Her parents required their three kids to learn music, a tradition in both sides of the family. Art was always the class she learned most in. At age nine, she played Baloo in, "The Jungle Book". She auditioned into and trained musically year-round with a performance choir (Island Choral Experience, directed by Cheryl Falk) from 5th-12th grade on Mercer Island. In a middle-school production of, "Fiddler on the Roof", she was cast as Chava. The summer before junior year of high school she took a six-week program, "Young Actors Professional Intensive". She was a Performance Intern in, "Wonderful Town", at The 5th Avenue Theatre, in Seattle during her final year in Mercer Island High School. Upon considering where to go to college, she decided acting was that which most compelled her (between singing, dancing, and acting). Though she wanted to attend a private liberal arts school, she discovered her true passion while attending the University of Washington (film acting). Consecutively she enrolled in private acting for the camera classes three years, Mercer Island, and completed advanced acting classes in the University of Washington's School of Drama. Naomi booked her first film audition (Ginger in, "World's Greatest Dad" by Bobcat Goldthwait - produced by Darko Entertainment, 2009). She got a bachelor's in Medical Anthropology and Global Health, and moved to Los Angeles in 2009.She appeared in her second feature film, "God Bless America", (2011, by Bobcat Goldthwait) and student short films. Soon she quit a research job and moved back to Washington, late 2013, because of black mold in two consecutive Santa Monica apartments.Naomi worked freelance in her home city, Seattle; co-wrote/cast and directed a play, made a short film, until her first professional role in a play turned up. She was cast to play the lead, Jean Rice, in a production of John Osborne's "The Entertainer", in North Hollywood, CA. Glick auditioned for the part, in LA six months prior, and received a call with information that the play was being re-cast, so they asked her to play Jean. Upon completing "The Entertainer" she moved back to LA late 2014, but returned to Seattle in 2015 to be near family.She worked on a variety of projects in Seattle, and decided to move back to LA on February 5th 2017.
