On Seinfeld, he was "cured" when Kramer's Junior Mint fell inside of him during surgery.

More recently, Howard lent his voice to the characters Oliver Philips and Aldous Worthington in the 2010 video game Red Dead Redemption, with Anthony DeLongis and Barry Lynch. In 2011 he had a guest role as Chip Shooter Haight in the Homeland episode "The Good Soldier", starring Maury Sterling.
