After graduating in 2011, O'Toole's first screen appearance was in a web series titled Sintillate Studios. [4] He eventually relocated to Sydney where he continued his work in theatre [5] and acted in several short films. His first appearance in an internationally released film was in The Water Diviner in 2014, alongside Russell Crowe. [5] That same year, he was cast in the role of Pete in the first three seasons of the TV series Love Child. In 2016, he played the role of Corporal Tom (second in command to drill sergeant Howell played by Vince Vaughn) in the award-winning biographical war film Hacksaw Ridge , directed by Mel Gibson.
O'Toole moved to Los Angeles in early 2016. [6] He acted in commercially successful Hollywood films that provided more international exposure and showcased broader recognition of his acting abilities. [7] [8] His first leading role was the romantic comedy, Everybody Loves Somebody (2017), which was well received by critics. [9] [10] In 2018, he performed as main actor in the Australian film Nekrotronic , which was nominated for Best Makeup at the 9th AACTA Awards, but otherwise was rather poorly received both by audiences and critics.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, O'Toole has almost exclusively appeared in Australian productions.
