Ofarim's showbiz career took off in May 1997 when he was spotted in a Munich underground station by a talent scout for Bravo magazine and was asked to do a pictorial story spread.

His 2003 album On My Own, released on Neotone Records, showcased his move in a different musical direction, taking his work further into the pop rock and adult contemporary genres.

[5] Starting in 2005, Ofarim became the lead singer of the rock band Zoo Army, also consisting of his brother Tal, Roland Söns and Dominik Scholz.

[2] The same year, he had a supporting role in the RTL two-part television drama film Storm Tide [de], a fictionalized ensemble story depicting the events surrounding the North Sea flood of 1962.

Starring a roster of bankable television actors such as Jan Josef Liefers and Götz George, the film earned largely favorable reviews and strong ratings.

[2] In 2008, Ofarim had a guest role in an episode of the children's television series Ein Fall für B.A.R.Z..[2] The same year, he formed another rock band, Acht, along with Oswin Ottl, Petros Kontos, and Andy Lind.

[11][12][13] His Instagram video was shared widely, also by the American Jewish Congress, which then started an online petition calling the hotel owner, Marriott, to apologize and educate its employees about antisemitism.

[16] Five witnesses furthermore mentioned during a police investigation that Ofarim had used swearwords against the hotel while in the lobby, threatening staff to "post an Instagram video that will go viral".

[18] In March 2022, the German Public Prosecutor's Office discontinued proceedings against the hotel employee and brought charges against Ofarim for libel and false suspicion.
