Bloom's earliest screen credit was as Ronnie in "Dear Ms. Dinah," an episode of Eight Is Enough broadcast January 25, 1978. Later that year he appeared in nine episodes of The Waverly Wonders as John Tate., in addition to his Original Series' appearance as Kyle in "The Young Lords."

In 1979 Bloom appeared as Joey Campbell in "No Way to Treat a Flower," a Quincy, M.E. episode written by then-future Galactica 1980 producer Jeff Freilich.

Bloom's television work continued into 1980, when he played Perley Day Wilder in "Wilder and Wilder," an episode of Little House on the Prairie, Lyle Bixler in an episode of Number 96, and Scotty in an episode of Lou Grant. He also appeared as Junior Beauregard on The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.

Bloom played Daniel Pierson, a newly hired general manager at fictional television station KTNS, in "Metamorphosis – The TV Show," a fourth-season episode of Mork & Mindy that aired January 21, 1982. That year he also played Creekmore, credited as Charlie Bloom, in the television movie Pigs vs. Freaks, and David McCall in Drop-Out Father. His final screen credits came in 1983, playing Travis Ault in The Kid with the 200 I.Q. and Regis Carey in an episode of Foot in the Door.

Musical theatre

Following his acting career, Bloom studied music theory and composition at New York University. He returned to the stage as a performer in a 1985 Los Angeles revival of Follies.

Bloom went on to work as a composer, lyricist, and bookwriter for musical theatre. He wrote the book, music, and lyrics to Pablo, based on the early life of Pablo Picasso. A concept album of Pablo was introduced to the industry with a listening party at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in Manhattan on May 16, 2022.

Bloom also wrote Insomnia, with a book by Theo Wolf, staged at the Midtown International Theatre Festival's Main Stage in New York from August 2–7, 2016. Heaven Knows, another of his stage works, received invitation-only debut readings at Opera America's Scorca Hall in New York on June 8 and 9, 2023. He also wrote the score to This Will All Be Yours, with a book by Laura Pedersen.

In 2012, Bloom released Music and Lyrics by Charles Bloom: In Here, a CD produced and orchestrated by David Snyder and recorded with a live 20-piece orchestra, featuring performers including Christine Ebersole, Howard McGillin, and Aaron Lazar. Bloom has named Noël Coward as an influence on his songwriting.
