Keegan had a bit part in the Ensemble film science fiction film Independence Day (1996). That same year, he landed a recurring role on 7th Heaven, where he played a single teenaged father in love with Jessica Biel character Mary. Keegan was then cast in three modern-day Shakespearean film adaptations: as the antagonist of Heath Ledger in romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) (adapted from The Taming of the Shrew) and as Mekhi Phifer best friend in O (2001), adapted from Othello, and in A Midsummer Night's Rave (2002), adapted from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Keegan then took on a role as a sadistic and sociopathic vampire named Blake in the horror film Living Among Us (2018). He appeared in a much-praised 2020 episode of the teen drama Trinkets and had a supporting role in the crime drama Adverse (2020).

Full Circle controversy In 2014, Keegan founded Full Circle, a community spiritual center based in Venice, Los Angeles. Vice characterized the organization as a "new religion", while other outlets called it a cult. In a 2015 interview, Keegan described the group as a "non-denominational spiritual community center where people of all beliefs and backgrounds come together to meditate, practice yoga, and engage artistically." New York Magazine reported in March 2015 that "the actual theology of the group is tough to pin down, but it seems to loosely follow Hinduism—or at least Russell Brand's Sanskrit-tattoo version of it." In May 2015, the Full Circle temple was raided by California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control officers. The raid was apparently related to Full Circle's distribution of kombucha, a fermented beverage. A spokesperson for the temple stated that they were unaware that they needed a license to distribute kombucha. Full Circle closed in 2017 due to financial difficulties.
