The first break for the Manhattan-born Garfin came at the age of three, when he appeared in a number of video releases for the kids network Nickelodeon. By five, he was playing a very young Russian spy in training in the Angelina Jolie movie "Salt" (2010) for which the five-year-old actor had his hair and eyebrows dyed blonde.

In 2013, at nine years old, Garfin made his first appearance on an Equity stage, appearing in a production of the Joel Grey play "On Borrowed Time" with the Two River Theater Company in Red Bank, NJ.
