Sy began his career after high school in 1996, working at Radio Nova, where he met his comedy partner Fred Testot. Afterwards, he appeared in the TV show Le Cinéma de Jamel on Canal+ with Jamel Debbouze. He then created a TV show called Le Visiophon. Following these roles, he appeared in various TV and stage shows such as Je ne fais pas mon âge and Omar et Fred: le spectacle. Most notably, Sy co-hosted Service après-vente des émissions, a French short comedy television series, with Testot from 2005 to 2012 on Canal+ until it was cancelled.

He appeared in the television game show Fort Boyard in 2006.

Sy then went to Los Angeles, where he lent his voice to Zip in the French version of the Tomb Raider Legend video game. He previously had also voiced a sheep in Disney's Brother Bear.

In 2008, he appeared in "Bienvenue chez les Bylkas," a video clip by Sinik. In 2009, he voiced some of the characters of Logorama with his partner Fred Testot.

In 2011, Sy starred in The Intouchables, playing a streetwise young man who becomes the personal care assistant to a wealthy quadriplegic (played by François Cluzet). The film enjoyed tremendous success, topping the French box office in 2011 and becoming the bestselling French film of all time in its native country, with more than 19 million tickets sold. As a result, Sy was voted third favourite French personality behind Yannick Noah and Zinedine Zidane. The role earned him the 2012 Globe de Cristal for Best Actor. He also received a nomination for a Satellite Award for Best Actor.{{cite web| url=https://uproxx.com/hitfix/satellite-award-noms-run-the-gamut-from-silver-linings-playbook-to-skyfall/ | title= Satellite Award noms run the gamut from 'Silver Linings Playbook' to 'Skyfall' | first= Guy |last= Lodge |date= 3 December 2012 |website=Uproxx | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130327152354/http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/satellite-award-noms-run-the-gamut-from-silver-linings-playbook-to-skyfall | archive-date= 27 March 2013 | access-date= 23 October 2021 }} He and co-star François Cluzet were jointly bestowed the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

In 2014, Sy appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past, playing the character Bishop. He also starred in Samba, directed by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache.
