In 2001, Scolaro was hired as a regular cast member for the role of love-sick, overly sensitive "Doug" in an NBC pilot Everything but the Girl by Steve Koren (Seinfeld). When the pilot was beaten to the line-up by Scrubs, Lester Lewis (The Office) brought him to the attention of Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline (The Middle) and he moved to Hollywood to be a regular cast member on the second season of NBC's Three Sisters as the bartender named Gordon, love interest of A.

During the writers strike of 2007-08, Scolaro did stand-up performances on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien and was invited back to the channel that started his career as an intern, Comedy Central, to headline an episode of Live at Gotham. In 2009, he taped a half-hour special for the network Comedy Central Presents: Brian Scolaro.

Due to movie star celebrities turning to TV after the strike and economic collapse, Scolaro went down a level to a guest role actor. From 2008 to 2025, Scolaro has had recurring characters in several series; the sad sack, forgetful, Doug, on TBS's Sullivan and Son, Brian the negative but competent lawyer on ABC's A Million Little Things, the ridiculous Uncle Bill on "Ten Year Old Tom", the paranormal police man Goblin on Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place" and played numerous characters on HBO's The Life and Times of Tim and Comedy Central's "Kroll Show".
