From Nickelodeon Fame to Life on the Streets: The Troubled Fall of Tylor Chase

Tylor Chase From Nickelodeon Fame to Life on the Streets: The Troubled Fall of Tylor Chase
Los Angeles, December 26, 2025 – Once a beloved face on Nickelodeon’s cult favorite Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, actor Tylor Chase’s life has taken a heartbreaking turn. The 33-year-old former child star, best remembered for his role as Martin Qwerly, was recently spotted homeless in Riverside, California — a stark contrast to his early Hollywood success.
A viral social media clip earlier this month showed Chase disheveled and roaming the streets, sparking massive concern among fans and former co-stars. In an attempt to help, his Ned’s Declassified co-star Daniel Curtis Lee checked him into a local motel. However, reports later revealed that Chase allegedly damaged the room and returned to the streets just hours later.
Family members and friends say Chase has battled severe mental health issues, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, for more than a decade. His father described a long struggle intertwined with addiction, frequent relapses, and years of unstable living. “He needs structured help and consistent medical care—not just money or temporary shelter,” his mother told reporters after shutting down a fan-led GoFundMe campaign meant to support him.
Despite outreach from local charities and even offers of rehabilitation from fellow actor Shaun Weiss, Chase has refused long-term treatment. His story has reignited broader conversations about the mental health crisis in Hollywood and the fragile paths of former child celebrities once the cameras stop rolling.
For now, his friends and family continue to hope that real help—not fame or sympathy—will bring Tylor Chase back to stability.
