- Milano was the primary and in some cases only puppeteer in the early "Greg the Bunny" franchise, playing the roles of Greg, Warren the Ape, Count Blah, Pal Friendlies, and The Wumpus. But for the FOX series, Milano himself assigned the role of Count Blah to puppeteer Drew Massey, who played him on that show. Milano re-assumed the character for his appearances on IFC, but enlisted Massey once again for a cameo role on MTV's "Warren the Ape".
- Milano is an avid Ghostbusters fan, and photos of his daughter in a hand-made "Mr. Stay Puft" costume fighting off a diorama of action figures went viral in 2012. His infant daughter was also a model for "The Walking Dead" when she donned a onesie and posed with an animatronic zombie in 2012, as credited in an article releasing the product line.
