Garett's first role was a small appearance in the Robin Williams film The World According to Garp (1982) at the age of nine. Given the opportunity to play a guest starring role on the groundbreaking Showtime series Brothers (1984) that starred the elder Maggart, Garett decided he wanted to become an actor.

He also had a recurring role on the NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives (1965) and was a host for cable-TV's musical variety series "Live From the House of Blues", which gave Garett a chance to indulge his love for playing the guitar and drums. Garett starred in the independent feature Demon Under Glass (2002), playing "Dr. Joe McKay" for director Jon Cunningham; then went on to appear in a recurring role as a mental health trial attorney opposite Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field, on NBC's acclaimed series ER (1994).Most recently, Garett has completed work on the Universal Pictures feature Because I Said So (2007), starring Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore.
