In 2003, introduced by Isaac Green of Columbia records, Rossomando met Carl Barât in New York City and agreed to fill in for Doherty in an upcoming US tour for The Libertines; this was followed by a trip to London to play Top of the Pops and Reading and Leeds festival. Eight months later he rejoined The Libertines to help support the entire worldwide touring campaign for their self-titled second album.

The film and score received high praise from many publications including the Times and the Guardian.

In November 2007, he played the role of Pete Neon in the first episode of the third series of The Mighty Boosh.
