After a video surfaced online showing Tylor Chase, once a familiar face on Nickelodeon, living rough on the streets of Los Angeles, the internet was quick to react.

He posted a message on Instagram, calling on the public to help track down Chase so he could lend a hand. Weiss’s offer was more than just words; he seemed genuinely keen to see Chase get back on his feet, drawing on his own experience of turning things around after hitting rock bottom.
