In 2025, Time magazine listed him as one of the world's 100 most influential people. Brody started his career in the early 1990s, taking roles in King of the Hill (1993), The Thin Red Line (1998), and Summer of Sam (1999). Brody won two Academy Awards for Best Actor for portraying Polish pianist Władysław Szpilman in Roman Polanski's war drama The Pianist (2002) and Hungarian brutalist architect László Tóth in Brady Corbet's period epic The Brutalist (2024); his first win, at age 29, made him the youngest winner in the category. For his performance in the latter, he also won the BAFTA Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. His other notable films include The Village (2004), King Kong (2005), Hollywoodland (2006), Cadillac Records (2008), Splice (2009), Predators (2010), Midnight in Paris (2011), and Blonde (2022).

On television, Brody has played Luca Changretta in the fourth season of the BBC series Peaky Blinders (2017), and Pat Riley in the HBO sports drama series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (2022–2023). He earned nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards for his respective roles as Harry Houdini in the History Channel miniseries Houdini (2014) and investor Josh Aaronson in the HBO series Succession (2021). On stage, Brody made his London theatre debut in 2024 and Broadway debut in 2025, portraying death row inmate Nick Yarris in the Lindsey Ferrentino play The Fear of 13 (2024), garnering a nomination for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor for the former.
