Novak initially appeared as an extra on various British shows: soap opera Family Affairs, medical drama Holby City and spy series Spooks. In 2005 he and Ed Tracy created Fonejacker, a prank call-based show as part of Comedy Lab for Channel 4. After the pilot, he was given a Christmas special and a six-part series, which after a three month delay, began airing on 5 July 2007 on E4 and 7 September 2007 on Channel 4. His characters include an orphaned mouse; an electronics aficionado who seems to have no belief in initialisms; a swearing cockney, bald car salesman; overweight Chinese students trying to sell bootlegged DVDs; a salesman who claims to work for companies with rude names; a salesman working for an Indian ISP and a Ugandan asking for bank account details, amongst many others.

Novak has appeared as an intelligence officer in the Academy Award-winning film Syriana alongside Matt Damon and George Clooney. In 2008, he appeared in micro-budget contemporary B-movie The Blue Tower. Novak also appeared in the 2010 British satirical comedy Four Lions in which he played the main character's dim-witted friend Waj for which he was awarded the Best Comedy Performance in a British Film award at the British Comedy Awards in 2011, beating fellow actor Nigel Lindsay for the same award in the same film. Novak plans to create a film based on the Fonejacker and Facejacker characters and is in talks with Film4 and Hat Trick Productions.
