From 2003 to 2009 Hochmair was engaged at the Viennese Burgtheater (admitted in the gallery of honor).[3] When he left the Burgtheater in 2009, he worked at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg until 2016.[4] Apart from this, he had engagements at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg, Staatstheater Hannover, Volksbühne Berlin and at the Zürich Schauspielhaus.[5]

Candelaria - Ein kubanischer Sommer (2017) is one of his first international productions, directed by Jhonny Hendrix Hinestroza. Shot in Cuba in 2016.[10]

In the series Vorstadtweiber (2015-2022), he embodies a corrupt and cynical homosexual politician, who loses his mind and becomes a murderer.[11]

In the third season of Charité (German-Netflix-Production, 2020), Hochmair stars as Professor Otto Prokop, an Austrian forensic pathologist who was internationally recognized for his influence on forensic medicine and research policy during German Democratic Republic.[12]

Blind ermittelt (since 2018) centers around Hochmair's character Alexander Haller, a blind ex-commissioner.[13][14][15]

In the Netflix-Series Freud (2019), he plays an evil count, obsessed by dark powers.[16]

Die Wannseekonferenz (2022, directed by Matti Geschonneck) is a multi-award winning[17] German TV docudrama:[18][19] On January 20, 1942, leading representatives of the Nazi Regime meet at Wannsee in Berlin at the invitation of Reinhard Heydrich (Philipp Hochmair). The meeting will go down in history as the Wannsee Conference. The sole topic of discussion is the so-called "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" by the National Socialists: the organization of the systematic mass murder of the Jews of Europe by the millions.
