Stewart was an executive producer for Has Anyone Seen My Baby?, a drama on the Lifetime network that portrayed the life of a woman who lost her child on an African safari in the early 1970s. He also appeared as the "weird guy" office temp on NewsRadio with Andy Dick, who told him, "there's only room for one weird guy" on staff at the radio station.

In July 2010, it was announced that he would guest-star in the Season 4 premiere of Private Practice alongside Currie Graham. The two will play Russell (Graham) and his mentally ill brother Kevin (Stewart).[3] He guest-starred in the Stargate Universe episode "Alliances".
