Former Child Star Found Homeless On The Streets Of LA, Here’s What Happened To Him
A wave of online concern has erupted after videos emerged suggesting that former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase, best remembered for his role as Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, may be experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles.
The 36-year-old actor, once a recognizable figure on the hit early-2000s teen sitcom, has reportedly fallen on hard times. Social media users have expressed heartbreak and nostalgia as the news spread, with many recalling his energetic portrayal of the talkative and eccentric Martin — a character who became a fan favorite during the show’s run from 2004 to 2007.
Recent viral clips shared by a social media user known as lethallalli appeared to show Chase on the streets of California. In her post, she claimed to have recognized him and attempted to offer help. “I showed him the post I made for him and he said that’s awesome! He said he’ll appreciate any help,” she wrote. Her compassionate outreach inspired her to launch a GoFundMe campaign, stating that Chase was “so excited” about the kindness being shown by fans.
The fundraiser quickly gained traction, collecting more than $1,200 in donations from supporters eager to help the former child star rebuild his life. Many fans shared words of encouragement, expressing sadness over his situation and hope that he would soon find stability.
Images and clips of Chase circulated widely across platforms, rekindling memories of the once-popular Nickelodeon series that guided viewers through the ups and downs of middle school life. The nostalgic connection to the show, combined with the distressing nature of the reports, fueled a growing online movement to assist him.
However, just as momentum built, the story began to take an unexpected and more complicated turn — one that would shift the focus from financial help to concerns about Chase’s wellbeing and medical needs.
