Weiss, who has openly shared his own journey from addiction to sobriety, said he was deeply moved after seeing footage of Chase living unhoused in Riverside, California.

Shaun Weiss Says He Has a Treatment Plan Ready

In a video he shared on Instagram on Monday, Weiss said he has already taken steps to help Chase.

“I have received many messages about [Tylor Chase],” Weiss said. “I reached out to some friends of mine, and we have a bed for him at a detox, and we have a place for him to go and get long-term treatment.”

Weiss explained that a place is available for Chase at the Eleven 11 Recovery Center in San Clemente, California, if Chase can be located and agrees to the plan.

‘All We Need to Do Now Is Find Him’

Weiss told his followers that the next challenge is reaching Chase in person.

“All we need to do now is find him. I’m not in Los Angeles, or I would go look for him myself,” Weiss said.

The actor and addiction treatment advocate asked the public for help, stressing the urgency of the situation.

“If anyone can get a face-to-face with him, please DM me so we can get him some help in time for the holiday,” he added.

Viral Video Sparks Widespread Concern

Concern for Chase grew after a video shared on social media showed the 36-year-old former star of “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” living on the streets of Riverside.

The clip quickly circulated on TikTok and other platforms, prompting an outpouring of worry from fans.

After the video went viral, TikTok user Citlalli Wilson launched a GoFundMe to support Chase’s recovery. The fundraiser raised more than $1,200 before it was shut down at the request of Chase’s mother.

Chase’s Mother Urges Medical Care Over Money

As per EW, in now-deleted posts, Wilson shared messages she said came from Chase’s mother, explaining why the fundraiser was taken down.

According to those messages, she emphasized that Chase needed medical care, not financial donations.

“Tyler needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him,” the message read.

She added, “I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can’t manage money for his meds by himself.”

As concern continues to grow, Weiss said his focus remains on reaching Chase directly, earning his trust, and helping him access care. The effort is deeply personal for Weiss, who hopes Chase will accept the support now being offered.

Chase portrayed the fast-talking, precocious Martin Qwerly on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” appearing throughout the show’s three-season run.

Originally from Arizona, the former child actor later made brief appearances on “Everybody Hates Chris,” appeared in a short film, and took on a supporting role in the James Franco indie “Good Time Max.”

His most recent credit came in 2011, when he voiced Hank Newbern in the video game “L.A. Noire.”

Weiss, meanwhile, is best known for playing goalie Greg Goldberg in three films in “The Mighty Ducks” franchise. In 2022, he marked two years of sobriety, sharing before-and-after photos on social media alongside the message, “Recovery is possible.”
