Dylan Riley Snyder is one of the most popular and richest TV Actor who was born on January 24, 1997 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States. Actor in film, musical theater, and television productions, including the Disney Channel’s Kickin’ It.
He won praise in the film world as one of the stars of director Todd Solondz‘s 2009 film Life During Wartime.
In 2003, the Snyder family moved to Petal, Mississippi. With his boy soprano range, Snyder performed with the Mississippi Boys Choir and the Hattiesburg Civic Light Opera. In 2005, he was selected for the American Boys Choir; however, it was during this time that Hurricane Katrina devastated much of Mississippi, prompting the Snyder family to move back to Alabama where family friend, Tina Fitch, suggested he go to New York City to try his luck in professional theatre.
In August 2005, Snyder and his mother began preparations to make the move to New York City and seven months later, on his ninth birthday, Snyder and his mother settled into a Manhattan apartment, while his father remained at his job in Mississippi and his sister attended college in Alabama. He soon began going on professional auditions and, after competing with hundreds of boys for the role, landed the part of “Young Tarzan” in Disney’s Broadway musical adaptation of Tarzan. After landing the part, Snyder studied gymnastics to meet the physical demands of the role and worked with a Disney vocal coach to learn to project his voice. Snyder made his Broadway debut as “Young Tarzan” in September 2006 and, as is typical with demanding children’s roles on Broadway, alternated in the role with Alex Rutherford, appearing in a total of 169 performances until the show closed in July 2007.
His mother, Ashley, lived in California with him during the filming of Kickin’ It, while his father, Les, and sister, Cassidy, lived in his native Alabama. He married actress Allisyn Ashley Arm in 2019.
