Living in Los Angeles, Archey took up modeling after he was scouted at a job fair. He credits modeling with helping him break out of his shell. He was later advised by manager Michael Bruno to get into acting classes so he could get a gig on a soap. After about two years of acting classes with no results, Archey was ready to give up when he booked two under-five roles on Days of Our Lives. In December 2012, Archey was cast in the recurring role of Mason Wilder on The Young and the Restless. Archey vacated the role in early 2014. In 2016, Archey returned to Days of Our Lives in the newly created contract role of Eli Grant. He appeared onscreen in February 2017. In March 2017, Archey appeared in the television film Can't Buy Love.
