Meyerson made his acting debut in Wes Anderson's 2001 award-winning film "The Royal Tenenbaums". He played Uzi, the red-suited older son of Chas, played by Ben Stiller, and the grandson of characters played by Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston. Meyerson was nominated for a Young Artists' award for his work on that film. He also starred in "Griffin and Phoenix", a new movie shown on the Lifetime channel and released on DVD. His work on that film earned him a Young Artist Award nomination, his second. In 2005, he was in the movies "Little Manhattan" and "The Matador", and in 2004, David Duchovny's "House of D". Playing a computer genius who helps Alison Pill's character in Book of Daniel, Jonah was set to appear in eight episodes, but was only in one as a major guest star before the series was cancelled.

He is represented by Abrams Artists Agency and Kipperman Management, both in New York City.
