FROM NICKELODEON TO THE STREETS
A heartbreaking new video has fans doing a double-take: former Nickelodeon actor Tylor Chase — remembered as Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide — was spotted living unhoused in Southern California after a TikTok clip circulated online. 😢📱
In the viral moment, the former child star appears disheveled and struggling, sparking a wave of shock, sympathy — and backlash over whether filming him in that state was helpful or exploitative. 🎥⚠️ “Why put a camera in someone’s face in hard times?” was the reaction shared by people close to him.
🎙️ The situation was later addressed by his Ned’s Declassified castmates — Devon Werkheiser, Daniel Curtis Lee, and Lindsey Shaw — who spoke openly about how painful it was to see him like this, and how powerless it can feel watching someone you care about go through a rough chapter. 💔 They said they’re hoping to help him find a better path forward.
💸 After the clip blew up, a GoFundMe reportedly popped up — but it was quickly shut down at his mother’s request, with her saying he needs medical attention, not money, and that cash wouldn’t necessarily help if he can’t safely manage it. 🏥🙏
This one hits hard: a familiar face from a beloved show… now fighting a very real, very public struggle. 😔
