A viral video of former child actor Tylor Chase has shocked fans throughout the world. However, he is popular for playing Martin Qwerly on Nickelodeon’s Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. Moreover, the clip, shared on Instagram and TikTok, shows Chase living on the streets of Riverside, California. Hence, it has raised questions about his well-being and how a familiar TV face from the mid-2000s reached this point.
Tylor Chase’s Rise on Nickelodeon
He was born on September 6, 1989, in Arizona. Moreover, Tylor Chase entered the entertainment industry through a talent discovery platform called ProScout. According to IMDb, his breakout role came as the fast-talking Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, which aired for three seasons from 2004 to 2007. Moreover, the show became a staple for a young audience and helped Chase gain early popularity.

Viral Videos and Mental Health Struggles
The renewed attention came after influencer LetHallAlli shared a video in September showing Chase dishevelled and homeless. Chase tells a passerby that he is a former child artist and claims he is auditioning for a movie in the viral clip.
He also speaks about his mental health struggles in the resurfaced footage. He revealed that he lives with bipolar disorder and has endured significant emotional pain. However, a GoFundMe campaign was also launched and raised around $1,200 for him. Still, it was later shut down at the request of his mother.
Reportedly, Chase’s mother states that he needs medical treatment, not money. Moreover, she explained that he struggles to manage medication and frequently loses his phone. According to her, financial help without supervision could do more harm than good.
Industry Support and Shaun Weiss’ Offer
After the viral attention, Ned’s Declassified co-stars Devon Werkheiser, Daniel Curtis Lee, and Lindsey Shaw addressed Chase’s situation on their podcast. All of them express concern and promise to help their old friend.
Actor Shaun Weiss, known for playing Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks and for his own recovery journey, also stepped in. He shared that a bed is available for Chase at the Eleven 11 Recovery Centre in San Clemente, California, if Chase can be located and agrees to treatment. Moreover, he also requested that anyone who encounters Chase contact him directly so help can arrive in time for the holiday.
