In 1983, he starred alongside Patrick Swayze and Matt Dillon in The Outsiders. It wasn't until 1984, however, that he became an international teen idol, after the release of the first Karate Kid movie, where he starred alongside Pat Morita and Elisabeth Shue. Macchio became one of the most famous teen idols of the mid-1980s, his face appearing on the cover of many teen "bubble gum" magazines such as Tiger Beat, 16, and Teen Beat. Macchio participated in three Karate Kid movies, which came out in 1984, 1986 and 1989, respectively. However, after The Karate Kid, Part III, his fame as a teen idol began to wane.

In 1987, he married Phyllis Fierro, with whom he has a son and a daughter. In 1992, in his last major role to date, he starred opposite Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei in the hit comedy My Cousin Vinny, playing the part of a big city boy wrongly accused of murder while passing through a small Southern town. He has worked as film director a few times and also appeared in some minor films. Also of note is his appearance in the film Crossroads. He played music student Eugene Martone, who battles Jack Butler (played by guitarist Steve Vai), a protégé of the Devil. He was recently seen in an episode of the HBO series Entourage with Hugh Hefner. He currently lives in Miller Place, New York in Long Island with his wife and children.
