When the show was picked up by the FX Network, Snell was hired as a supporting cast member on the show, but was told upfront that the writers had no real plans for developing the character for the time being, due to him being a last minute addition to an already large cast of actors. However, after just a few episodes, he was made a permanent member of the Strike Team and has appeared in almost every episode since, with his character garnering a large following amongst fans of the show.
In the show, Ronnie was responsible for developing the team's plan to take down the Armenian Money Train in season 2. He was the team's resident communications & surveillance expert, and was 100% loyal to Vic & the team. With his screen time expanded, as of the fifth season, he was a full-time cast member.
Snell is also a voice actor who has appeared in such short films as
