Brigadier made many other appearances in film and television on such shows as House, Nip/Tuck, Scrubs, Alias, and Malcolm in the Middle. He appeared many times on The History Channel, most memorably as Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil in the miniseries The War That Made America - The Story of the French and Indian War, and acted on stage in such plays as The Imaginary Invalid, A Servant of Two Masters, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
In the 1980s, Brigadier spent time in Berlin, Germany working for the U.S. Army Recreation Services as a director for the community theater there. He performed and directed Arsenic and Old Lace while there.
