Haas became more widely known in 1985 when, at the age of 8, he appeared with Harrison Ford in Witness. His performance as an Amish boy who is the sole witness to a police officer's murder was well received by critics. Haas followed this with parts in films such as Lady in White and Solarbabies.

For this role he was nominated for the award of young artists. Also at a young age, he starred in the movies Alan and Naomi and Rambling Rose.
Haas received an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Ryan White in the TV movie The Ryan White Story, about an American teenager who contracted AIDS through contaminated blood treatments for hemophilia. On stage in 1988, he performed alongside Steve Martin and Robin Williams in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at Lincoln Center in New York City for director Mike Nichols.
He went on to appear in Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You, Tim Burton's Mars Attacks!, and Alan Rudolph's Breakfast of Champions. Haas' work in the 2000s includes Brick, Gus Van Sant's Last Days, and While She Was Out with Kim Basinger. In March 2010 he was inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. Recently he appeared in Red Riding Hood, Contraband and Christopher Nolan's Inception.
