On television, Mackie starred as Takeshi Kovacs in the second season of Netflix's Altered Carbon (2020), a delivery driver in the Peacock series Twisted Metal (2023–present), and a fictionalised version of himself in the Apple TV+ series The Studio (2025), which earned him his first Primetime Emmy nomination. In theatre, he has performed in Broadway and Off-Broadway adaptations, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, A Soldier's Play and Carl Hancock Rux's Talk, for which he won an Obie Award in 2002.
