Michael Park as Jack Snyder
Biography
Michael Park joined the CBS daytime drama AS THE WORLD TURNS on March 12, 1997, in the role of Detective Jack Snyder.
Park garnered a Daytime Emmy Award-nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in 2007. In 2001, he was nominated for both a Daytime Emmy as a Supporting Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination, along with co-star Maura West, for Favorite Couple.
Park grew up with his brother and two sisters in Canandaigua, NY, with parents George and Rosemary. He attended Nazareth College, in Rochester, NY, and worked in construction during his summer vacations. Despite not being a music or theater major, he decided to change career paths when he continued to win the lead roles in school musical theater productions.
After graduation, Park was acting in repertory theater when he was cast as Raoul in the national tour of "Phantom of the Opera." Following the tour, he appeared in "Hello Again," and understudied in the revival of "Carousel," both at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, before making his Broadway debut in the original cast of "Smokey Joe's Cafe." After leaving the musical, Park appeared off-Broadway in "Violet" during which time he was cast on As the World Turns. He appeared alongside Martin Short and Faith Prince in the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of "Little Me" and performed in City Center's Encores production of "Bloomer Girl" in March 2001.
Park is an avid softball player and golfer, who often tees off with his castmates. Park and his wife, Laurie, a music therapist whom he met in college, currently live in New York State. They have three children, son Christopher Michael (b. 6/21/97), daughter Kathleen Rose (b. 2/14/00), and daughter Annabelle Jayne (b. 4/5/04).
Park celebrates his birthday on July 20.
