Child Star Turned Homeless – What Happened to Him in Los Angeles?
A wave of concern has spread on social media after videos appeared to show former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase, best known for playing Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, living in homelessness in Los Angeles. Now 36 years old, Chase was once a popular child actor during the early 2000s. The news came from TikTok user @lethallalli, who claimed she recognized Chase on the street and posted videos of their encounter. She said he was kind, appreciated the support, and was excited when she mentioned creating a GoFundMe to help him.
The fundraiser quickly gained attention and raised over $1,200 from fans who remembered him from their childhood and wanted to help. But the situation changed when another TikTok user, @didyoucatchthis, posted screenshots from someone claiming to be Chase’s mother. The person said Chase needed medical attention, not money, and that giving him cash could be harmful, as he allegedly struggles to manage his medication, phones, and finances.
Following this, @lethallalli paused the GoFundMe and said she would offer the donations to Chase’s family instead. The person identified as his mother thanked her and expressed concern for Chase’s well-being, stating that while he is a good person, he needs professional help.
Fans responded emotionally to the news, with many expressing heartbreak over the situation. Several noted how common these struggles are among former child stars. Some users also found a YouTube channel under Chase’s name with emotional videos discussing mental health and bipolar disorder. In one clip, he speaks about feeling “scared” and “lost,” which added more weight to the concerns.
Although his current condition has not been officially confirmed, the viral videos have reignited conversations about mental health, the challenges of child stardom, and the lack of long-term support for actors after fame fades. As one fan wrote: “He made us laugh growing up — now he needs help, and I hope he gets it.”
