Berg's first major credit in the movie business was as co-writer of
New Jersey Turnpikes (1999) starring
Kelsey Grammer for Universal Pictures. A few years later he was hired by 20th Century Fox to work on the animated movie
Ice Age where he became one of several screenwriters on the project. In 2002
Ice Age—starring
Ray Romano,
John Leguizamo, and
Denis Leary—was a box office success, received an
Academy Award nomination, and became one of animation's highest-grossing movies. Following the release of
Ice Age, Berg adapted the screenplay for
Summerland by Michael Chabon at Miramax and worked on various writing projects at Universal, Warner Bros., and Revolution Studios. He also contributed to the animated feature
Robots (uncredited) and the live-action movie
Are We There Yet? (uncredited). Berg also has written for magazines, including
Rosebud and
