David Dorfman has been making his mark in the entertainment industry from a very young age, appearing in film and on television since he was just five years old. With a career that kicked off early, David Dorfman had the unique opportunity to be part of several high-profile projects while still a child. Born in Los Angeles in February 1993, David Dorfman’s first acting role came in 1999 when he portrayed the youngest child in the Lifetime movie Invisible Child (1999), a drama starring Rita Wilson and Victor Garber as parents grappling with their children escaping into a fantasy world—emotions run high, and the story takes a toll on the entire family.
Following that debut, David Dorfman quickly gained momentum, securing a recurring role on the CBS series Family Law (1999–2002). In the show, he played the son of a dedicated family attorney, portrayed by Kathleen Quinlan, whose life unravels after a divorce leads to the loss of both her husband and her law firm. This steady role helped solidify David Dorfman’s presence on screen and expanded his visibility in Hollywood.
Though he also made a guest appearance on the popular Fox series Ally McBeal (1997–2002), it was really his time on Family Law that brought David Dorfman into the spotlight and opened doors for him in feature films. The exposure and experience from these early roles laid a strong foundation for David Dorfman’s growing career in the industry.
When it comes to David Dorfman’s film career, one standout moment definitely comes to mind—his highest rated movie is Panic, released back in 2000. That performance really showcased David Dorfman’s potential and earned him a lot of praise at the time. On the other hand, not every project turned out quite as well. In fact, David Dorfman’s lowest rated film to date is The Ring Two, which came out in 2005. While it had its fans, the critical response wasn’t nearly as strong, making it a bit of a contrast compared to his earlier success. Still, both roles are part of David Dorfman’s journey in Hollywood, highlighting the ups and downs that come with acting in major films.
