Former Nickelodeon child actor Tylor Chase, best known for his role as Martin Qwerly in ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,’ is transitioning to a specialized rehabilitation facility after completing urgent medical care. This development follows a coordinated intervention by concerned former colleagues and friends who mobilized to address his deteriorating mental health condition.
The situation reached a critical point when Chase was admitted to a Riverside, California hospital under a mandatory 72-hour psychiatric hold. Medical professionals determined that extended treatment was necessary before his transfer to a dedicated rehabilitation center.
The intervention gained momentum after disturbing videos surfaced online showing Chase living homeless on Riverside streets. One particularly viral clip from September, which circulated widely in December 2025, showed the actor calmly discussing his Nickelodeon career while apparently living in destitute conditions.
Jacob Harris, proprietor of Shipwreck Barbershop, emerged as a pivotal figure in Chase’s recovery journey. On Christmas Day, Harris spent nearly three hours with the actor before contacting a crisis intervention team that conducted an immediate evaluation. ‘I had to do something,’ Harris stated. ‘I finally found a crisis center that would perform an on-site assessment.’
Former co-star Daniel Curtis Lee had previously attempted to assist Chase by securing temporary hotel accommodation. However, these efforts were complicated when Chase reportedly damaged the room shortly after check-in, consistent with warnings from family members about previous unsuccessful intervention attempts.
The entertainment community’s concern for Chase highlights ongoing challenges faced by former child actors transitioning to adulthood, particularly regarding mental health support and post-career stability.
