Now, Shaun is hoping to help someone facing similar struggles.
On Sunday, footage of Tylor Chase, who rose to prominence with his role in Nickelodeon's Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, surfaced online. Tylor, like Shaun previously, appears to be battling addiction and homelessness.
According to TMZ, comedian Russell Peters showed Shaun the viral video.
"Shaun tells TMZ ... he has a bed for Tylor at a facility he works with called Eleven 11 Recovery in San Clemente, California. Shaun says Tylor is welcome to enroll in the rehab's sober living program, which would include up to one year of housing," TMZ reported. "Tylor could start on a scholarship, according to Shaun."
Here's a clean active version with shorter sentences and no assumptions added:
Shaun has not located Tylor as of this posting. Witnesses last saw the former Nickelodeon actor at Westgate Plaza in Riverside, California.
Tylor Chase's Co-Stars Have Also Shared Concern
Shortly after the video of Tylor went viral, Daniel Curtis Lee and Lindsey Shaw, who both held roles on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide shared their concern in an episode of their podcast, Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide.
"There was some bad news that I received earlier this week about our dear friend Tylor Chase. It was a lot to process for me," Lee said. "When I first saw, I was angry, because I was like, why put a camera on someone's face in hard times? But then I was upset with myself because I feel powerless because there's not much that I felt I could do. I didn't want to believe it at first, I was like, oh, they just caught him at a bad time."
Hopefully, Shaun can work with Lee and Shaw to try to locate Tylor. Once they find him, they can begin working with him to help get his life back on track. Shaun, 47, will undoubtedly continue searching for Tylor as he tries to help another childhood actor and pay forward the help he received when he was most in need.
