Korsmo was born in Fargo, North Dakota, the son of Deborah Ruf, an educational psychologist, and John Korsmo, former owner of Cass County Abstract and former chairman of the Federal Housing Finance Board. He was raised in the Minneapolis suburb of Golden Valley, where he attended and graduated from Breck School in 1996. He has one older brother, Ted (born 1976), and one younger brother, Joe (born 1983).
He is married to Adrienne, with whom he has a daughter, Lilah, and a son, William.
Korsmo's acting roles included The Kid/Dick Tracy, Jr. in Dick Tracy; Siggie, the son of Richard Dreyfuss's character, in What About Bob?, and Jack Banning, the son of Peter Pan in the 1991 film Hook. His final film role was the supporting character William Lichter in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait.
Korsmo earned a degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2000.
