In a poignant turn of events, former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase has been discovered living on the streets of Los Angeles, as shown in a distressing video that has left his former colleagues deeply concerned.

The 36-year-old, who gained fame as Martin Qwerly on the early 2000s show “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” was captured on video appearing unkempt in Riverside this past September.

The video begins with a woman asking Chase if he was part of the Disney Channel, to which he responds, clarifying his role with Nickelodeon on “Ned’s Declassified.”

“Oh yeah, you’re that kid on it,” the woman acknowledges, as Chase introduces himself by name.

This footage has evoked a wave of sympathy on social media. Chase’s past co-stars have also expressed their surprise and concern upon learning of his situation.

Devon Werkheiser, Daniel Curtis Lee, and Lindsey Shaw shared their reactions and heartfelt thoughts during an episode of the Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide on September 24.

‘There was some bad news that I received earlier this week about our dear friend Tylor Chase. It was a lot to process for me,’ Lee said, describing the video as ‘scary’.

‘When I first saw, I was angry, because I was like, why put a camera on someone’s face in hard times?

‘But then I was upset with myself because I feel powerless because there’s not much that I felt I could do.’ 

‘I didn’t want to believe it at first, I was like, oh they just caught him at a bad time,’ Lee added. 

‘But then I saw some other videos, and it looks like a brother is going through some stuff. 

‘I fully believe that he can recover, but that’s also wishful thinking from me. 

‘I gotta go and see him, and want to get through this fight, and try to connect with him somehow, but I also don’t want to waste my time and put him on the spot.’

Shaw agreed that she was ‘in the same boat’ as Lee and wanted to go see Chase in person. 

‘You can’t do much, but I would love to go speak with him and just love on him and look him in the eye,’ she said. ‘I miss Tylor, I love Tylor so, so much.’ 

‘It’s a lot to see… and even begin to have an idea of what to do about it,’ Werkheiser added.

Werkheiser said that although he hated to see Chase exposed at a vulnerable time, he believed that the woman who posted the video had ‘her heart in the right place’.  

‘It is painful and shocking to see where he is currently at… it’s hard to see someone you know and love from a really special time, and a really sweet person, that this is where life has currently ended up, is hard, man,’ he said. 

Arizona-born Chase started his acting career as a teenager in the early 2000s. 

He is best known for playing Qwerly, but also starred in Everybody Hates Chris in 2005 and as Young Adam in the 2008 James Franco flick Good Time Max.
