- ABC and Cybill Shepherd originally wanted him for the role of "David Addison" in Moonlighting (1985), but show creator and writer, Glenn Gordon Caron, rejected him for the then-unknown Bruce Willis (both screen test were filmed -- two scenes each with actress Mary-Margaret Humes playing "Maddie Hayes" -- on September 7, 1984.) His screen test, along with Bruce Willis, appears at the end of the pilot episode DVD release.
- In the October 2002 episode, "Offensive Action" of JAG (1995), Venton was missing the top half of his ring finger, on his right hand (his wedding band he wore for a number of years, before -- since 1996, was also gone.) This is also visible in the 2000 episode of Thin Ice (2000).
