Soffer's acting career began at the early age of six when he landed a Kix cereal commercial. At age eight, he made his feature film debut opposite John Goodman and Cathy Moriarty in Matinee.
Soon after, he was cast as Susan Sarandon and Sam Shephard's son in the family drama Safe Passage, as well as the iconic character Bobby Brady in both The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel.

In 1998, Soffer was cast as a series regular on Two of a Kind, starring Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. When the series ended, Soffer returned to the East Coast and immediately took on the role of Max Nickerson on Guiding Light.

Within months, Soffer landed a major contract role on the daytime drama As the World Turns. His portrayal of troubled youth Will Munson, earned him three consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2006, 2007 and 2008, as well as a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Lead Actor in 2005.
Soffer made his return to the big screen in Davis Guggenheim's independent feature film Gracie, playing the son of Elizabeth Shue and Dermot Mulroney. In the film, Soffer was able to combine his real-life passion for soccer as a star high school player and older brother to the title character.
