Homeless former child actor Tylor Chase is facing a serious problem. Shockingly, he trashed a hotel room just days after his old Nickelodeon co-star Daniel Curtis Lee helped him find a place to stay. Lee shared a sad video of the damage online and asked people for advice on how to help his struggling friend.
Chase and Lee worked together on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide in the early 2000s. Chase played Martin, while Lee played Cookie. Recently, Chase went viral after a video showed him homeless on the streets of California. He wore ripped clothes and looked very different, which worried fans and former co-stars.

After the video spread, Lee found Chase in Los Angeles and tried to help. He paid for a hotel room during the holiday rush and shared updates on social media. At first, things looked hopeful. Soon after, that hope turned into concern when Lee revealed what happened in the room.
Lee later posted another video with a painful update. He said the hotel management called him after the first night. “We got him into the hotel and just that night I received a call from the management,” Lee said in the video. “They are upset. The door is left open. Why is there a microwave in the tub? The refrigerator is turned over. I feel so devastated.”
Lee said Chase’s family warned him about similar past attempts. “His family told me that they tried the hotel thing before but it didn’t work,” he added. Lee stressed that the situation points to deeper mental health issues. “I think that it is time to put in a call for a 5150,” he said, referring to an involuntary psychiatric hold in California.

Earlier, Lee shared that actor Shaun Weiss and others tried to help get Chase into a hospital. “Shaun Weiss and his team put a lot of effort into trying to get him into a hospital last night,” Lee said. “His dad told me it worked, but it turns out he kind of backed out.”
Even after what happened, Lee did not give up on Chase. He took him out for pizza, and they ate together. They also FaceTimed their former co-star Devon Werkheiser. Lee later told Chase, “I’m gonna come back and try and talk about getting the situation squared away.”

Chase got emotional during the moment. He hugged Lee and thanked him for helping. Lee said he spoke with Chase’s parents and decided not to give him any money. He said Chase’s mother warned him that it “might be dangerous.”
The videos have led to new discussions online about mental health and addiction, although there have been past instances about various players and celebrities dealing with mental health issues. It can be challenging at times to cope with the things happening in life.
