Previously, Black could be heard as the voice of "Po" in all three installments of DreamWorks Animation's smash franchise Kung Fu Panda and starred as "R.L. Stein" in Sony Pictures' hit movie Goosebumps. He also starred in the critically-acclaimed independent film Bernie, a role for which he earned a 2013 Golden Globe nomination for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical" and a 2013 Independent Spirit Awards nomination for "Best Male Lead." Additionally, he topped the box office with Tropic Thunder, School of Rock (which earned him his first Golden Globe nomination for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical") and the Academy Award-winning blockbuster film King Kong.

In September 2018, Black received a star on the renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame for his storied film career, which has included roles in Don't Worry He Won't Get Far On Foot, The House With A Clock In Its Walls, The Polka King, The D Train, Gulliver's Travels, The Big Year, The Muppets, Nacho Libre, Bob Roberts, High Fidelity, Saving Silverman, Year One, Shallow Hal, Ice Age, Orange County, Envy, Shark Tale, and The Holiday.
