The actor, who plays David (Tweener) Apolskis on Prison Break, was behind the wheel of a Land Rover that jumped a curb and struck a tree on Dec. 2.
Beverly Hills High School student Vahaghn Setian, 17, died in the crash and two 15-year-old girls were injured.
Prosecutors said they will recommend Garrison be held on bail of $200,000 US.
Garrison was expected to surrender Thursday afternoon for arraignment at Beverly Hills Superior Court.
