Throughout his career, Oedekerk has appeared in and created several television specials for [[NBC]], [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], and [[UPN]].

Prior to his successful contributions to several unknown episodes in the ''Color'' TV series, he wrote and starred in his first independent/directorial film, ''Smart Alex'' (1987).

Jim Carrey also starred opposite him in the role of [[Death (personification)|Death]], although he went uncredited. Shortly afterward, Oedekerk again worked alongside Carrey as the project consultant for ''[[Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'' (1994). The film began a break-out success and he was given the opportunity to both direct and write its sequel, ''[[Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls]]'' (1995). The sequel proved to be more successful, surpassing the box office gross of the original.▼
Following the ''Ace Ventura'' franchise, Oedekerk co-wrote ''[[The Nutty Professor (1996 film)|The Nutty Professor]]'' (1996) for [[Universal Pictures]] and it became one of the highest-grossing films of that year. He soon wrote, directed and also had a cameo appearance in ''[[Nothing to Lose (1997 film)|Nothing to Lose]]'' (1997), starring [[Tim Robbins]] and [[Martin Lawrence]]. Oedekerk would take a hiatus from directing major films productions for the rest of the 1990s, but continued to write screenplays, including ''[[Patch Adams (film)|Patch Adams]]'' (1998), ''[[Nutty Professor II: The Klumps]]'' (2000), ''[[Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]'' (2001), ''[[Kung Pow: Enter the Fist]]'' (2002) (which he directed, wrote and filled the starring role), ''[[Bruce Almighty]]'' (2003) and ''[[Barnyard (film)|Barnyard]]'' (2006).▼
In 2007, Oedekerk produced the screenplay and story for the ''Bruce Almighty'' sequel, ''[[Evan Almighty]]''. He has also been commissioned to write the screenplay for the ''[[Ripley's Believe It or Not!]]'' film adaptation due for release in 2011; Jim Carrey has since been cast in the title role.▼
In February 2009, Universal Pictures announced that Steve Oedekerk would be penning a film adaptation of the [[Stretch Armstrong]] superhero doll.▼
