James Glickenhaus (born July 24, 1950) is an American

financier, director and automotive entrepreneur.[2]

He is currently general partner of Glickenhaus & Co., a family partnership originally started by his father Seth Glickenhaus.

Glickenhaus wrote, directed and produced a number of films in the 1980s and 1990s, including The Exterminator and the Jackie Chan vehicle The Protector. In an interview from 2012, about his movie career, he explained his reasons for retiring from the movie business: "What happened at the end was that the studios had taken over everything. And it was very difficult as an independent to compete with them. They could spend so much money that the stars you had access to as an independent were asking a mega amount money. They knew you had no choice. It became harder and harder and harder."[3]
