Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide actor Daniel Curtis Lee has extended a helping hand to his former co-star Tylor Chase.

“Reunited with Ned and Cookie on FaceTime, Tylor Chase is now well-fed and sheltered from the rain,” Lee, 34, shared in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, December 23. “We’ve secured a hotel for him, marking a step toward long-term care. By the way, Tylor’s interested in live-streaming video games. Any volunteers to assist?”

Lee provided followers with “an update” regarding Chase after news of his recent hardships surfaced online earlier this month. Lee acknowledged the significant role played by Shaun Weiss, known for The Mighty Ducks, in helping Chase find the support he needed.

“I caught up with him over some pizza today,” Lee added, mentioning that they also connected with fellow Ned’s Declassified star Devon Werkheiser via FaceTime.

Former Nickelodeon Stars Candid Quotes About Working at the Network 358

Over the years, former Nickelodeon stars have candidly shared their experiences growing up in the spotlight, with mixed recollections. For instance, Jennette McCurdy surprised many when she expressed discontent about her time on iCarly, stating, “I worked on those shows from about 13 onwards…”

Chase “trusted an old friend,” per Lee, and they were able to check him into a hotel room. Lee also explained that Weiss attempted to get Chase a bed at Eleven 11 Recovery, but he declined.

“I just wanted him to have, at least, some basic accommodations,” Lee continued. “He wanted to stay local and this was the only one that was open and accepting people, so here we are, man.”

Lee promised Chase he would “come back” so they could have a further discussion about the future. Chase gave Lee a big hug before they parted ways.

“You’re the man, brother. I believe in you and we’re going to win, bro,” Lee said. “All we gotta do is stay with it and keep working, dude.”

Werkheiser, 34, commented on Lee’s video, writing, “That’s a good man right there.”

Lee, Werkheiser and Chase starred as Cookie, Ned and Martin Qwerly, respectively, in Nickelodeon’s Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, which ran for three seasons from 2004 to 2007.

Drake Bell Calls Out Ned Declassified Stars for Nickelodeon Doc Jokes

Werkheiser told TMZ on Monday, December 22, that he hadn’t seen Chase in “almost 20 years” after the show ended. The actor, just like members of the public, were shocked that he had been experiencing homelessness in Riverside, California. It’s unclear how long he has been without a home.

“My only hope is that from this exposure, someone with real understanding and resources can step in, get Tylor into treatment, and help him get back on track,” Werkheiser continued. “We all want a happy ending.”

He added, “Anyone who has dealt with severe addiction and deep mental health issues knows it’s an unbelievably challenging situation if they don’t want help.”

Werkheiser said that Chase has family that live nearby and constantly check on the former star.

“It’s an everyday uphill battle to course correct,” Werkheiser explained. “It requires a ton of support and patience and time.”

Riverside Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday that “officers assigned to our Public Safety Engagement Team have regular contact with him, at least once a week, and consistently offer a range of resources, including assistance with temporary shelter options.”

Chase “has been cordial and cooperative with our officers” throughout all of the interactions, police added.
