ALBAWABA - Former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase was recently seen in a viral video, living homeless on the streets of California.
The clip sparked concern among social media users regarding Chase's health and living conditions due to his appearance. Tylor Chase, now 36 years old, played the role of Martin Qwerly in the hit Nickelodeon series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, which ran from 2004 to 2007.
A pedestrian in California noticed Chase in the street and hit record. They asked the former actor, "Did you play on Disney Channel? To which he replied in correction, "Nickalodean... Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide." The clip went viral and flooded several social media platforms, sparking concern over the former actor's health.

A social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "It’s a jarring reminder of how fast fame fades and how little protection child actors often have once the cameras stop."
Another wrote, "Hollywood has broken many souls. Child actors have it the worse in some cases."
Additionally, many users launched several unofficial GoFundMe fundraisers in hopes of raising money for Chase to help him recover and start a new life. One fundraiser by an influencer went viral but was later taken down after Chase's mother intervened.
She said, "What Tyler needs is not money, but medical support. He is unable to manage his medication on his own and often loses his phone within days. Money could actually do more harm than good. He is kind and pure-hearted, but desperately needs treatment."
