Among his most prominent film roles is the title character in the cult film The Lawnmower Man which starred Pierce Brosnan. In it, Fahey plays a mentally handicapped landscaper named Jobe.

The movie, Hollywood's first-ever treatment of virtual reality, was purportedly based on a Stephen King story, although King successfully sued to have his name removed from the film.
