In 1995, Cheadle was named Best Supporting Actor by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for his breakout film performance opposite Denzel Washington in Carl Franklin's Devil in a Blue Dress. The latter also earned him the first of his three NAACP Image Award nominations; he was also nominated for his portrayals in John Singleton's Rosewood and Warren Beatty's Bulworth.

He has collaborated multiple times with directors Steven Soderbergh and Brett Ratner.
