Shortly after Lizzie McGuire wrapped, Snyder retreated from the spotlight, leaving fans to wonder what he's up to now.
The 37-year-old looks pretty uncrecognizable in the present day, trading in his enviable and luscious blonde hair (obviously, his hair secret was onto something back then) for slicked back brown tresses, adding a neatly trimmed beard into the mix and allowing some natural gray hairs to peek through for a salt and pepper effect.
Despite taking a step back from acting, he's living a full life, as his Instagram bio notes that he's also a dad and husband to Upload actress Allegra Edwards.
In 2002, he explained his decision to walk away from the industry to E!, noting he was 'thankful' when the show wrapped and he could start a 'new chapter' in high school.
He then got offered the Lizzie McGuire Movie and quit the varsity water polo team, though he regretted it, noting, 'It was that decision, actually, that got me to stop acting completely. I was pretty down at that time.'
Thankfully, he found his way back to his one true love, as his Instagram bio describes him as a a "waterpoloist" at LA Athletic Club Water Polo and host of a podcast titledWater Polo Wednesday.
In 2014, he marked his return to acting, appearing in shorts and making guest appearances on some popular TV shows, with his IMDb page revealing that he's presently got several projects in the works, including Quarter, a film with Brooke Shields and Tati Gabrielle.

Miley Cyrus Explains How She Used to Hide All of the Money She Spent on Drugs from Her Accountant
Miley Cyrus recalls the days of hiding her drug purchases from those around her The former Disney star visited The Ringer's Every Single Album podcast where she discussed her drug use during Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz era She has also openly discussed her sobriety journeyMiley Cyrus is opening up about her past drug use — and how she used to keep it a secret from those around her, specifically her accountant. The music artist, 32, got candid while taking a deep dive into where she was mentally for each of her albums like Bangerz and Endless Summer Vacation, for the Friday, June 6 episode of The Ringer's Every Single Album podcast. During their discussion of her 2015 album, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the former Disney star revealed where some of her money went without her accountant's knowledge. 'The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes,' Cyrus said. The 'Flowers' singer continued, 'And so she would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time.' Cyrus said over time her accountant would wonder about the "vintage clothes" costs but she always made sure to keep her purchases discreet. 'And every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs,' ' she said. 'We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate. The fabric got to take care of it. So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year,' Cyrus added. Continuing to reflect on Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the 'We Can't Stop' singer admitted she's grateful for how far she's come since that period in her life. 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life," Cyrus said. "I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it.' Cyrus has been open about her sobriety throughout the passing years. In a 2017 interview with Billboard, she said she was 'evolving' after giving up marijuana. 'I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever [gone without it],' she said at the time. 'I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now! That was just something that I wanted to do.' She later spoke to Rolling Stone for the magazine's January 2021 cover story after she "fell off" and started drinking during the pandemic.

Honestly, I never try to, again, be a fortune-teller. I try to not be naive," Cyrus said at the time. "Things f—--- happen. But from sitting here with you right now, I would say it would have to be a cold day in hell for me to relapse on drugs."
