Watch: Ned’s Declassified’s Devon Werkheiser Speaks Out as Costar Tylor Chase Faces Homelessness
Tylor Chase is finding support from a familiar face.
The Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide alum reunited with his former costar Daniel Curtis Lee, who reached out after seeing a heartbreaking video of Tylor experiencing homelessness in California.
“I just wanted to give you an update,” Daniel shared in an Instagram video Dec. 23. “Shaun Weiss and his team put a lot of effort into trying to get him into a hospital last night—and I thought it worked. His dad told me it worked, but it turns out he kind of backed out.”
“So, today I went to have pizza with him,” he continued, sharing footage from their meal together. “Also, I got to let him chat with his old friend Devon Werkheiser.”
After the two chatted on FaceTime, Daniel, 34, helped Tylor, 36, find accommodations at a hotel amid the busy holiday season.
“He trusted an old friend,” Daniel continued. “He wanted to stay local and this was the only one that was open.”

The two shared a hug before parting ways, with Daniel promising Tylor that he’ll return to check up on him.
“Love you, dude,” Tylor replied. “Thank you. I’m so happy to see you.”
And Daniel believes the recent outpouring of concern Tylor will eventually help him get “back on his feet.”

Former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase has been found homeless on the streets of Los Angeles in a heartbreaking video, which his co-stars have described as ‘scary.’
The 36-year-old, who played Martin Qwerly on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide in the 2000s, was filmed looking dirty and disheveled in Riverside this September.
The woman who filmed the video started by asking Chase if he was on the Disney Channel. ‘Nickelodeon,’ Chase clarified, adding that he was on ‘Ned’s Declassified.’
‘Oh yeah, you’re that kid on it,’ the fan responded, as Chase told her his full name.
The video sparked widespread sadness on social media – and, once Chase’s former co-stars heard about it, they also expressed their shock.
Actors Devon Werkheiser, Daniel Curtis Lee and Lindsey Shaw addressed the news on Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide on September 24.
‘There was some bad news that I received earlier this week about our dear friend Tylor Chase. It was a lot to process for me,’ Lee said, describing the video as ‘scary.’
‘When I first saw, I was angry, because I was like, why put a camera on someone’s face in hard times?

‘But then I was upset with myself because I feel powerless because there’s not much that I felt I could do.’
‘I didn’t want to believe it at first, I was like, oh they just caught him at a bad time,’ Lee added.
‘But then I saw some other videos, and it looks like a brother is going through some stuff.
‘I fully believe that he can recover, but that’s also wishful thinking from me.
‘I gotta go and see him, and want to get through this fight, and try to connect with him somehow, but I also don’t want to waste my time and put him on the spot.’
Shaw agreed that she was ‘in the same boat’ as Lee and wanted to go see Chase in person.
‘You can’t do much, but I would love to go speak with him and just love on him and look him in the eye,’ she said. ‘I miss Tylor, I love Tylor so, so much.’
‘It’s a lot to see… and even begin to have an idea of what to do about it,’ Werkheiser added.

Werkheiser said that although he hated to see Chase exposed at a vulnerable time, he believed that the woman who posted the video had ‘her heart in the right place.’
‘It is painful and shocking to see where he is currently at… It’s hard to see someone you know and love from a really special time, and a really sweet person, that this is where life has currently ended up, is hard, man,’ he said.
Arizona-born Chase started his acting career as a teenager in the early 2000s.
He is best known for playing Qwerly, but also starred in Everybody Hates Chris in 2005 and as Young Adam in the 2008 James Franco flick Good Time Max.
