Over the next decade, Black mostly continued in minor, one-off roles in television and film until he landed a recurring role as Nigel the Choir Director in Greenleaf (a series headlined by Merle Dandridge) in 2016. In recent years, Black has also appeared in a recurring capacity as Pastor Lewis in Nashville and Donald Simms in 24: Legacy.

On November 21, 2019, it was announced that Black would be succeeding the late Robert Guillaume as the voice of Eli Vance in Half-Life: Alyx. He was one of the first two cast members new to the series to be revealed, the other being Ozioma Akagha as Alyx Vance.
