Thomas began appearing in screen roles in the mid-1990s, and had minor roles in several films, including Conspiracy Theory (1997), Can't Hardly Wait (1998), and Cruel Intentions (1999). His first leading role was in the teen romance Save the Last Dance , in which he starred opposite Julia Stiles.

Subsequently, Thomas appeared in supporting roles in the films Barbershop and Halloween: Resurrection , both of which were released in 2002.

He was originally cast as Cyborg for Justice League: Throne of Atlantis , replacing Shemar Moore from Justice League: War , who was initially not available to reprise his role.
