In 2017, he appeared as Brayden in Marvel's Runaways. In 2022, he was in the first season of the horror-comedy series Shining Vale as Ryan He, Valerie (Susan Park)'s son whom Gaynor (Gus Birney) tries to seduce, and was announced as a cast member for the superhero drama Gen V. The show began airing in September 2023 and his character was revealed to be Jordan Li, a bigender shape-shifting superhero who has both a male form (which Luh portrays) and a female form (London Thor). In September 2025, he and Thor reprised their roles for the show's second season. In a feature published on September 22, Luh posed for Men's Health alongside his Gen V co-star Asa Germann. The two talked about their friendship amid the "male loneliness epidemic", with Luh revealing that Germann introduced him to the acting coach they now share.
