Shaun Weiss Offers Treatment Assistance to Homeless ‘Ned’s Declassified’ Actor Tylor Chase
Shaun Weiss has extended an offer of rehabilitation support to Tylor Chase following viral footage depicting the former child actor experiencing homelessness. Weiss, known for portraying Goldberg in ‘The Mighty Ducks’ trilogy, announced the initiative through a video posted to his Instagram account. He stated connections secured a detox bed and long-term treatment placement for Chase. Weiss emphasized the need to locate Chase to facilitate the process.
Chase appeared in the Nickelodeon series ‘Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,’ which aired from 2004 to 2007. He played recurring character Martin Qwerly across 18 episodes. The actor later faced legal issues related to substance abuse, including arrests for burglary and methamphetamine possession in 2018 and 2019. Recent videos circulating online showed Chase on Los Angeles streets discussing his circumstances.
Weiss achieved sobriety after multiple arrests stemming from addiction struggles. His 2017 meth possession charge gained public attention through mugshot images. Weiss completed rehabilitation programs and marked five years sober in 2025. He credited community support for his recovery trajectory.
The offer aligns with Weiss’s public advocacy for addiction recovery among former child performers. He referenced receiving numerous messages about Chase’s situation. Weiss collaborated with unnamed contacts in the recovery field to arrange immediate placements. The proposal includes detox followed by extended residential care.
Child actor transitions frequently involve challenges related to early fame and substance use. ‘Ned’s Declassified’ co-stars Devon Werkheiser and Lindsey Shaw previously addressed industry pressures. Daniel Curtis Lee, another series regular, maintained acting credits into adulthood. Chase’s last listed role dates to 2016.
Weiss expressed determination to connect with Chase directly. He urged followers with information on Chase’s whereabouts to contact him privately. Recovery facilities involved remain undisclosed for privacy reasons. Weiss described the arrangement as fully funded through personal networks.
This intervention highlights ongoing support networks among former child stars navigating recovery. Weiss’s own turnaround included resuming acting roles post-rehabilitation. He appeared in independent projects and documentaries chronicling his journey. The gesture underscores mutual aid within the entertainment community’s recovery circles.
Public response to Weiss’s video generated widespread shares across social platforms. Former colleagues from both franchises acknowledged the outreach positively. Addiction specialists note early intervention improves long-term outcomes significantly. Chase has not issued a public statement regarding the offer.
The situation reflects persistent issues facing actors from 2000s youth programming. Multiple Nickelodeon alumni have shared experiences with post-series adjustments. Weiss positioned his assistance as part of broader peer accountability. Locating Chase represents the immediate priority for implementation.
