Career

Krumholtz accompanied his friends to an open audition for the Broadway play Conversations with My Father (1992). He won the role of Young Charlie, with Judd Hirsch, Tony Shalhoub, and Jason Biggs, who was also making his Broadway debut. Krumholtz co-starred in two feature films, Life With Mikey (1993) with Michael J. Soon after his time on Broadway, Krumholtz co-starred in two feature films, Life With Mikey (1993). (1993) with Christina Ricci, Fox and Addams Family Values (1993). David was nominated for the Young Artist Award in 1993 for his work in Mikey. Despite the fact that his participation in these two films attracted critical attention, David is perhaps best known by children as the sarcastic head elf Bernard from The Santa Clause (1994) and its first sequel The Santa Clause 2 (2002). However, he could not reprise his role in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) due to a scheduling conflict. Krumholtz co-starred in his first television series, Monty, with Henry Winkler; the program lasted only a few episodes. Krumholtz appeared in several short-lived series over the years. He had the privilege of working with Jason Bateman (Chicago Sons, 1997), Tom Selleck (The Closer, 2000), and Rob Lowe (The Lyon's Den, 2003). He found television success with the CBS series Numb3rs in 2005. Krumholtz appeared on television as schizophrenic patient Paul Sobriki, as well as Law & Order, SVU, Lucky, Freaks, and Geeks, and Undeclared.

With The Ice Storm (1997), directed by Ang Lee, and Slums of Beverly Hills (1998), starring Alan Arkin and Natasha Lyonne, he broke out of the children's film genre. Krumholtz appeared in the popular teen film ten Things I Hate About You (2000) starring Michael Eckman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julia Stiles, and Heath Ledger. In the same year, he portrayed a completely different teen role – Yussel, a young, conflicted Jewish man in Liberty Heights (1999).

It was Yussel's role that attracted Krumholtz's attention, as he was cast in the independent film Sidewalks of New York (2001). Krumholtz, playing the romantic and marginally obsessed Benny, was on a quest for larger, more complicated film roles. In the romantic comedy You Stupid Man (2002), opposite Milla Jovovich, Robert Levich was his first role as a leading man. Despite being never released theatrically in the United States, You Stupid Man, directed by Edward Burns' brother Brian Burns, was released on DVD (2006). Krumholtz appeared in Big Shot: Confessions of a Campus Bookie (2002), his first leading role in a modern American film, which premiered on FX Networks.

Big Shot was based on the 1994 NBA fixation fiasco at Arizona State University. Krumholtz played Benny Silman, a college student and campus bookmaker who was suspended for his role in securing points off main Arizona State basketball games. Benny was unlike any other character Krumholtz had played before, and he gained critical praise for his work, demonstrating that he wasn't just a sidekick.

Krumholtz played Max in My Suicidal Sweetheart (formerly Max and Grace), opposite actress Natasha Lyonne once more in 2005. Krumholtz has also appeared in Ray (2004) and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004), in which he appeared in smaller roles. In September 2005, he was seen in Joss Whedon's science fiction film Serenity as "Mr. Universe," a hacker and information broker. On Comcast's On Demand cable television network, Krumholtz's 2003 film Kill the Poor screened in New York City and around the country in early 2006.

Krumholtz appeared on CBS television show Numb3rs from 2005 to 2010. Charlie Eppes was depicted by Krumholtz as a genius who used mathematics to support his FBI agent brother Don (Rob Morrow) solve crimes. Judd Hirsch and Peter MacNicol, who appeared with Krumholtz in Addams Family Values as a camp counselor, were also included in the number of Numbers. Hirsch is the star of three other Paramount Television television series. Krumholtz's work on Numbers was "his best TV work to date," according to critic Matt Roush (TV Guide). By CBS on May 18, 2010, the number was downgraded. He appeared in Tax Man on Fox but was not invited to the series. In 2011, he appeared in The Playboy Club on NBC, but after three episodes, the show was cancelled.

Krumholtz appeared opposite Michael Urie in CBS' comedy TV series Partners in 2012, but the program was ended after six episodes. In 2015, he appeared in the IFC comedy series Gigi Does It play the titular role of an elderly Jewish woman.

He has appeared in a few roles in the Coen brothers' film Hail Caesar in recent years. While also appearing in films including This Is the End (2013), The Judge (2014), Sausage Party (2016), and Wonder Wheel (2017), Ryan wrote about Buster Scruggs (2018).
