Spotted by a Universal Studios talent scout while starring at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada in 1975, Macht was signed to a contract and by the mid 1970s had left teaching and was making frequent appearances in TV episodes and movies.

Dark, with a solid build, Macht was often cast as Jews, Italians and Native Americans; such as in Raid on Entebbe (NBC, 1977), where he portrayed Yonni Netanyahu, the Israeli officer killed in the rescue of hostages in Uganda. In 1978 Macht had a big break as the lead in The Immigrants a syndicated miniseries about the rise of the son of Italian immigrants in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. The following year he portrayed a Hopi in Nightwing.

The success of the TV-movie American Dream (ABC, 1981) led to a critically acclaimed short-lived series which cast Macht in the role of a family man who chucks the suburban life to set up home in the inner city of Chicago. The following season, he landed the role of the brother of Karen MacKenzie (Michele Lee) on Knots Landing (CBS, 1982–83). The actor, however, found more challenging roles in TV longforms. Notable roles included playing Nancy McKeon's father in Strange Voices (NBC, 1987). He was Benedict Arnold in the 1984 CBS miniseries George Washington and one of the survivors of Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac (NBC, 1984). Macht spent three seasons (1985–88) in the recurring role of David Keeler, love interest to Det. Chris Cagney (Sharon Gless), on Cagney & Lacey (CBS). He was also the third-billed star of The Last Winter. During his run on the show, he moved behind the cameras to make his directorial debut.
