He also appeared as John, an incompetent mugger, in two episodes, "Mugged" and "Wingmen", of another HBO Series, Flight of the Conchords. He also appeared in American comedy-drama Ugly Betty, as well as in two episodes of Bored to Death as a NYPD mounted police officer.

Venito played in the 2008 Celebrity Poker Invitational and was the first person eliminated on the very first hand when his pocket kings were beat by pocket aces.

Venito appeared in five episodes of NYPD Blue, most notably as Julian Pisano, a snitch with a heart of gold, a role he reprised in Blind Justice.

In 2007, he starred in the short-lived ABC sitcom The Knights of Prosperity as "Squatch".
