Hermann had brief stints on a variety of television shows that include the soap opera Guiding Light (1997–1998), the ABC Family show Beautiful People (2006) and the Lifetime original series Angela's Eyes (2006). Since 2002 he has had a recurring role as defense attorney Trevor Langan on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

In 2006, he starred as Jeremy Glick in the feature film United 93.[9]

He also guested on 30 Rock during its first season and starred in ABC's mid-season replacement series Cashmere Mafia as Davis Draper. In 2011, he appeared in the Broadway play War Horse,[13] and made occasional appearances as Erin Reagan's ex-husband John "Jack" Boyle on Blue Bloods.[14][15][16]

From 2015 to 2021, he starred in Younger.[17] In March 2018, HarperCollins published Hermann's children's book If the S in Moose Comes Loose.[18] He was a guest actor in season 2 of And Just Like That....
