Her breakthrough film role was in the romantic comedyΒ BoomerangΒ (1992), alongsideΒ Eddie Murphy, which led to roles inΒ The FlintstonesΒ (1994) andΒ BulworthΒ (1998), as well as the television filmΒ Introducing Dorothy DandridgeΒ (1999), for which she won aΒ Primetime Emmy Award and aΒ Golden Globe Award.

Berry launched a production company,Β 606 Films, in 2014 and has been involved in the production of several projects in which she has performed, including theΒ CBSΒ science fiction seriesΒ ExtantΒ (2014–2015). She appeared in the action filmsΒ Kingsman: The Golden CircleΒ (2017) andΒ John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and made her directorial debut with theΒ NetflixΒ dramaΒ BruisedΒ (2020).
