The Mighty Ducks star Shaun Weiss is sharing a message for Tylor Chase, the Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide actor who has apparently been experiencing homelessness in California.

On Monday, Dec. 22, Weiss — who played goalie Greg Goldberg in the 1992 film and its two sequels — shared in an Instagram video that he's received "many messages" about the fellow former child actor and that he's taken action.

"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, 47, said, sharing the actor's apparent location and asking fans to get in touch if they can help.

"Please DM me so we can get him some help in time for the holiday," Weiss added, writing in a caption, "We have a bed for him at a detox."

The actor has previously opened up about his own past experiences with homelessness, as well as addiction, amid his sobriety journey. He shared on an April episode of Pod Meets World that he benefited from "a tremendous amount of support from people" who were invested in his recovery as fans of his acting.

As for Chase, 36, he appeared as Martin Qwerly in the Nickelodeon series, which ran for three seasons on the network from 2004 to 2007.

Weiss' offer to help comes months after Chase's former Ned's Declassified costars, Daniel Curtis Lee, Devon Werkheiser and Lindsey Shaw, addressed videos "circulating on the internet" of their friend "going through some stuff," during an episode of Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide back in September.

"All of us in the Ned's community are figuring out what it looks like to see him," Werkheiser, 34, said at the time. "How can we help? What can we do?"

In the weeks since, additional videos of Chase have been shared online as Lee, 34, has fans on his well being. Most recently, he said in an update on Instagram on Monday that he was looking for guidance from a financial advisor on setting up a trust for his friend and that he wanted to help "the right way — safe, structured, and supportive."

Wekheiser also told TMZ this week that it was "heartbreaking to see him this way" and that those who have "dealt with severe addiction and deep mental health issues knows it’s an unbelievably challenging situation if they don't want help."

He also said he wished people would stop posting videos of Chase online and that "someone with real understanding and resources can step in, get Tylor into treatment and help him get back on track."

On Monday, Lee revealed he "just got off a call" with Chase and that the actor was "really excited" by the fact that people have been inspired by him. While Lee said that Chase's mom has advised against direct funds for her son, he was interested in looking into a trust that was contingent on the actor completing rehab. "He's on my heart often, on my mind often," Lee said.

"There's been such a huge outpouring of support from the community," he added. "Like I say, I don't like the way some of you guys are going about the videos and stuff like that. But if it's real love and genuine love and support, man, I really think we can get him back on his feet."
