During his heyday with Dance Fever, he appeared in a number of films, including The Idolmaker, The Wrath of Khan, A Night in Heaven and Knights of the City and guest starred on popular television series of the time including The Love Boat. Throughout the 1990s, he toured nightclubs, performing with Motion and judging dance contests. In recent years, he has appeared on several VH1 specials and co-hosted the 2004 PBS special The Disco Explosion which featured many popular disco artists from the 1970s and actress Karen Lynn Gorney. During the show, Terrio and Gorney danced to Tavares’ live performance of “More Than a Woman”, as Gorney had with John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Currently Terrio is hosting his own disco radio show on the Sirius satellite radio network and is a choreographer and competitor at regional Dancing with the Stars competitions. In 1991, he sued Merv Griffin, the show's producer, for sexual harassment;[3] the US$11.3 million case was later dismissed.[4] In 2015, Terrio sued the toy company Hasbro in a federal court for creating an animated gecko and toy figurine named Vinnie Terrio. He alleged that his publicity rights were violated by the gecko and figurine.[5] In February 2016, Terrio and Hasbro settled Terrio's claims out of court.[6] In popular cultureTerrio was referred to in the Steve Martin movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in which Martin's character, a con man and hustler named Freddy Benson, poses as a crippled veteran as part of a plan to extract money from a rich woman. In order to induce her pity, Benson claims that he lost use of his legs after he found his girlfriend having sex with Terrio.
