Canadian-born Haim broke into the Film industry in 1984 as a young child caught up in a family war in the hit movie Firstborn. The following year he starred in the TV movie _A Time To Live (1985) (TV)_ , for which he received an award, and Silver Bullet. _Lucas_(1986) , in which he starred alongside Charlie Sheen showed his ability, but was not a big hit.

In 1987 he had a breakthrough when he played one of the major roles in 'Joel Schumachers' ’s _Lost Boys (1987)_ , but his output during the nineties was disappointing. He hopes to turn his career around with two newly finished movies _Without Malice (2000)_ and _Universal Groove (2001)_ and there is a chance of a role in the much-rumoured ‘Lost Boys’ sequel.
