Without any formal training as an actor, Lucas's film debut was in the 1994 Kevin Costner film, "The War." He was subsequently cast as Caleb Temple in CBS's television series "American Gothic," which ran from 1995 to 1996, and in the films "Sling Blade," "Ghosts of Mississippi" and "The X-Files." Later in 1997 Black starred in the TV film "Flash," which aired on The Wonderful World of Disney. In 1998, Black was offered a part in "The Horse Whisperer." However, when he was told that he would need to tone down his thick Alabama accent for the part, he rejected the role. During this time period, Black also modeled for Calvin Klein Jeans.
Black appeared in a supporting role in "Cold Mountain" in 2003 and then a featured role in 2004's well-reviewed American football-themed drama, "Friday Night Lights" and 2005's Gulf War-themed film, "Jarhead." Black also starred in the lead role of the third film in "The Fast and the Furious" series, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," opposite rapper Bow Wow and beside his brother Lee, who was the young sheriff's deputy.
He then played Brooklyn Dodgers' shortstop Pee Wee Reese in the 2013 American baseball drama "42."
