Grant made his film debut starring in the Oxford film, Privileged (1982), followed by a leading role in the Merchant-Ivory period romance Maurice (1987) for which he received the Venice International Film Festival's Volpi Cup for Best Actor. During this time Grant also starred in period films such as Impromptu (1991), The Remains of the Day (1993), Sense and Sensibility (1995), and Restoration (1995).

He then gained stardom as a romantic leading man starting with Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) which earned him both the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. He often collaborated with filmmakers Richard Curtis and Marc Lawrence starring in a string of popular romantic comedy films such as Nine Months (1995), Notting Hill (1999), Bridget Jones' Diary (2001), About a Boy (2002), Two Weeks Notice (2002), Love Actually (2003), and Music and Lyrics (2007).

Grant has since had a mid-career renaissance experimenting in a variety of genres tackling against type roles ranging from comedic to dramatic. He played numerous characters in the science-fiction epic Cloud Atlas (2012), St. Clair Bayfield in the historical film Florence Foster Jenkins (2016), an egotistical actor in the children's film Paddington 2 (2017), an Oompa loompa in the family musical Wonka (2023), Thurl Ravenscroft in the Netflix comedy Unfrosted (2024), and a mysterious Englishman in the horror film Heretic (2024). During this time, he has also starred in several Guy Ritchie action films including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), The Gentlemen (2019), and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023).

On television, he took dramatic roles portraying British politician Jeremy Thorpe in the Amazon Prime Video anthology series A Very English Scandal (2018), and Dr. Jonathan Fraser, a husband accused of infidelity and murder in the HBO drama series The Undoing (2021), both of which earned him nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
