Playfair started his acting his career in children's film and television. Beginning in 2014, he played Knox in the YTV series Some Assembly Required for all three seasons until the show was cancelled in 2016. In 2017, Playfair joined Disney's Descendants franchise playing the role of Gil, Gaston's son, in Descendants 2[3] and Descendants 3.
Playfair has often acted in roles involving hockey, due in part to his skating skills.[4] In 2013 he acted, alongside his future Letterkenny co-star Andrew Herr, in Mr. Hockey: The Gordie Howe Story as Gordie Howe's son Marty Howe. In 2016, Playfair started work on the hit Canadian show Letterkenny, as Reilly, one of the town's jocks. He has also toured North America as part of the Letterkenny Live! tour.[5] Playfair had earlier played the same character in the Letterkenny web series. This 'typecasting' has continued, as he joined the cast of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers as Coach T.[4]
