Former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase, best known for his role as Martin on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, has been hospitalised after a video showing him homeless and dishevelled in Riverside, California, went viral.
Chase, 36, was seen on the streets appearing to be homeless. Riverside police confirmed they interact with him weekly, offering mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and temporary housing, which he has repeatedly declined.
Influencer Jake Harris shared on Instagram that Chase is now receiving medical attention. “He’s currently receiving medical attention to get him healthy, to get him all better and on track for rehab,” Harris said, adding that Chase is off the streets and in good hands.
Former child star Shaun Weiss, of The Mighty Ducks fame, had asked fans for help locating Chase. After he was found, his Ned’s Declassified co-star Daniel Curtis Lee took him for a meal and booked a hotel room. Harris later debunked reports that Chase had trashed the hotel room, stating management was not upset.
Another co-star, Devon Werkheiser, expressed heartbreak over Chase’s situation, calling him “a sensitive, sweet, and kind kid.” Werkheiser urged people to stop filming and uploading videos of Chase, hoping instead that someone with resources can help him into treatment.
