Reinaldo Marcus Green

For his first television project, Green directed three episodes of the British crime drama Top Boy for its third series, which premiered in 2019.

In June 2019, it was announced Green would be directing a biopic titled King Richard, about tennis coach and father of American tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, Richard Williams, starring Will Smith in the titular role. The film has received a number of accolades.

After receiving the Sundance Institute Fellowship in 2017, Green made his feature film debut with the 2018 drama Monsters and Men, which won the Special Jury Award for Outstanding First Feature at the Sundance Film Festival. His next project was Joe Bell, produced by Jake Gyllenhaal and Cary Joji Fukunaga, and starring Mark Wahlberg, Connie Britton, and Maxwell Jenkins.

Green first gained prominence through his early short films both solo and in collaboration with his brother. Among these were Stone Cars, which was shot on location in Cape Town, South Africa and showcased at the 2014 Cinéfondation in Cannes, and Stop, which was inspired by the killing of Trayvon Martin and premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.

Green attended Port Richmond High School. He went on to complete a Master of Education at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and taught at an elementary school. He then worked at AIG for five years as a director of educational programming and talent acquisitions, needing the money to pay off his undergraduate loans. However, Green's department was downsized due to the financial crisis of 2007–2008.
