Chase was born on September 6, 1989, in Arizona. Along with his breakout role on Nickelodeon, he appeared in “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Good Time Max.” His baby-faced charm made him a fan favorite, but those early wins now stand in painful contrast to his current state.
The Riverside Police Department confirmed that Chase isn’t a criminal, but just a man in crisis. Officers see him nearly every week, offering help he consistently refuses.
He’s been offered mental health care, temporary housing, and addiction support, all of which he continues to decline. Police say he remains cooperative and cordial, but ultimately, it is his decision whether to accept help.

The videos struck a nerve with Chase’s former co-star Devon Werkheiser, who played Ned Bigby on “Ned’s Declassified.” Speaking to TMZ, Devon said, “Tylor was a sensitive, sweet, and kind kid. It is heartbreaking to see him this way.”
