By 2026, he had also gained widespread internet recognition through the viral "Son" meme. Mackie made his film debut in 8 Mile (2002) and earned critical recognition for his roles in Brother to Brother (2004), which garnered him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor, and The Hurt Locker (2008), which earned him nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the AAFCA Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.

On television, Mackie starred as Takeshi Kovacs in the second season of Netflix's Altered Carbon (2020), a delivery driver in the Peacock series Twisted Metal (2023–present), and a fictionalised version of himself in the Apple TV+ series The Studio (2025), which earned him his first Primetime Emmy nomination. In theatre, he has performed in Broadway and Off-Broadway adaptations, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, A Soldier's Play and Carl Hancock Rux's Talk, for which he won an Obie Award in 2002.
