Glockner told Brooke Hunter from Femail that former Neighbours cast member Guy Pearce was one of his main reasons for auditioning for the show, as Pearce is his inspiration. Glockner had a two-year contract with Neighbours, but on 3 December 2013, it was announced that Glockner was to leave the show.

In 2024, Calligram Pictures released short film Co-Stars, which was co-written and directed by Brodrick.
