During his time there, he performed in a production of Seussical alongside Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Benj Pasek. His first onscreen role was in an episode of Unforgettable in 2012.

In 2019, Haaskivi appeared in a small role opposite Edward Norton in Motherless Brooklyn, directed by Norton. He would make a guest appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as Dr. Nagel. In February 2022, he was cast in Oppenheimer, a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer directed by Christopher Nolan, and was cast in a recurring role in the Apple TV+ miniseries The Big Cigar later that year.
