He was born on August 25, 1962, in Passaic, New Jersey.
His first starring role was as the human collaborator Daniel Bernstein in the 1983 NBC miniseries V. He reprised the role in the 1984 sequel V: The Final Battle.
During the first month of filming for V, the 20-year-old Packer was present in the house when co-star Dominique Dunne was killed outside by her ex-boyfriend; he faced public criticism for not having done more to prevent Dunne's death. Showrunner Kenneth Johnson described in a 2023 interview that his other co-stars were "totally accepting of the fact that he had been a part of a tragedy, and that it was weighing on him", also describing how upset Packer was at Dunne's funeral. In the same interview lead actress Faye Grant is quoted as saying "I do want to point out that he was a child. He was a very young person when that happened. And he was frightened. And that’s really all I can say about that."
Packer subsequently appeared in such films as RoboCop (1987), You Can't Hurry Love (1988), Strange Days (1995), True Crime (1996) and Infested (2002). In 1994, he received the Cable Ace Award for his role as Leo in the 1993 television series Big Al. He also appeared in the video game Double Switch as Jeff, who leads the band Scream, and has made guest appearances in numerous television shows such as ER, Fame, St. Elsewhere, thirtysomething, The Division, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: NY and M*A*S*H.
