His next role was in a season three episode of ‘Law & Order: SVU’. In 2004, he played Zeke in the telefilm ‘Carry Me Home’.
Braun’s first film was the superhero comedy ‘Sky High’, in which he played Zachary "Zach" Braun or Zack Attack, who can glow in the dark. He subsequently made a series of guest appearances in various TV shows before landing the role of the awkward sophomore student Cameron James in ABC Family’s sitcom ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ (2009-10). In 2009, he appeared in the teen romantic comedy ‘Love at First Hiccup’. He also appeared in the telefilm ‘Princess Protection Program’ that year.
In 2010, he portrayed Cole Waters in the action-adventure film ‘The LXD: The Uprising Begins’ and went on to reprise the role in the sequel web series ‘The LXD: The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers’.
In the 2011 independent action horror thriller film ‘Red State’, Braun was cast as Billy Ray, one of the three young men held captive by a fanatically conservative church. That year, he also appeared in the comedy-drama ‘Prom’. Between 2008 and 2011, he was one of the two actors who portrayed the character Clyde in the web series ‘Poor Paul’. Braun shared screen space with Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller in the 2012 coming-of-age drama film ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’.
Braun and Christopher Mintz-Plasse co-starred in the short-lived CBS series ‘Friend Me’ (2012). In 2014, he starred opposite Dakota Johnson in the teen sex comedy film ‘Date and Switch’. His and Johnson’s extremely believable on-screen chemistry gave way to rumours that they were dating in real life. He and Johnson acted together once more in the comedy-drama ‘How to be Single’ (2016). Some of his other film credits are ‘Chalet Girl’ (2011), ‘The Watch’ (2012), ‘At Middleton’ (2013), ‘The Stanford Prison Experiment’ (2015), ‘Poltergeist’ (2015), ‘Freaks of Nature’ (2015), ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot’ (2016), and ‘The Year of Spectacular Men’ (2017).

In September 2016, he uploaded a picture of himself on social media in which he is seen kissing actor and friend Christopher Mintz-Plasse. This sparked rumours of Braun being gay.
