In 1980, Snyders starred on the second season of the nationally syndicated American situation comedy, The Baxters.[1][2][3] On the series, Snyders played Gregg Baxter, the son of an average middle-class family living in a suburb of St. Louis.[1][2][3] Originally produced by Norman Lear in its first season, the series was the first "interactivesitcom" of its kind, wherein the first half of each 30-minute episode presented a vignette dramatizing the events in the lives of the Baxter family, and the second half was an "instant analysis" talk show segment, giving a live studio audience and guests an opportunity to express their opinions about the topic being presented that week.[1][2][3]
Snyders is a dance teacher. Since November 2006, he has been the elected president of union local 1996 of Unifor (formerly the Communication, Energy, and Paper workers Union).[citation needed]
