Bullock relocated to New York City after graduating from college to pursue a career in acting, where she worked, took acting workshops, and auditioned for stage and student films.

After relocating to Los Angeles, Bullock landed a prominent role in 1993's Demolition Man alongside Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Bullock featured alongside Keanu Reeves in the the 1994 film Speed, which grossed $350.4 million worldwide the next year. Bullock's career skyrocketed suddenly, and it has been there ever since.
