Working Actor Now Homeless in Los Angeles

- "What hurts the most is the friends and family that used to be there, that when you get into this situation, everybody just chucks it up to drug abuse or bad choices...that's not always the case. Sometimes it's just the choice is made for you and you don't have any choice." ~ Dennis
"Through an avalanche of unfortunate events" is how Dennis ended up homeless in Los Angeles. Dennis is a working actor. He moved to New York City into an apartment he couldn't afford. After three years his partner split and wiped him out financially. Dennis had to start over.
Dennis's elderly mother is in an assisted living home. He tried to live at the facility but that did not work out. He ended up living in a broken-down car for over a year.
Dennis says homelessness used to be that person you didn't know. Now, homelessness is your sons or your daughters, your sisters or your fathers.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as UA-cam, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
Update on him : He is a skilled carpenter now and on job .
Edit 0ct 2022 : Just revisited this comment and seen alot of interest, respose and good wishes. For all those who are interested, His full name is Dennis Kyle . If you give his name in UA-cam search, you'll find a number of his past singing and acting performances . During or after Corona he again faced tough times due to which he launched a fundraiser on GoFundMe in 2021. People did help and he collected more than his target.
General Knowledge I hope that’s true. Good wishes to this man
Please send proof. I really hope your words are true.
Harrison Ford was a carptenter too. You wouldn't expect that to overlap with acting so often lol.
@@drksideofthewal Carpenter work is seasonal so it works 💋
@@Apixi no its not, year round, been in construction for almost 25 years.
I was homeless for 10 years. I'm good now tho got a job a house thank God I made it out alive
That’s awesome to hear dude. Glad things worked out for you.
Cool!
Me too. It is possible to come back from the streets. I almost took myself out with drugs and alcohol but tried kratom 6 years ago, I've been sober since that day. If you struggle with drugs and alcohol try kratom. It saved my life no doubt.
how? employers dont hire homeless
cory leblanc says who?!
He seemed broken but still humble and willing to get on with life. What a nice human being and I truely hope he has found peace and stability.
This is over 4 yrs old and I hope he is in a better situation now.
He’s still a drunk male prostitute… caught him walking up in down Ventura Blvd wearing purple lingerie trying to wave down trucks.
@@a.nelprober-rl5cf you need to get a life and stop obsessing about gay sex
You already made him miss his bus, you should have given him a ride where he needed to go.
You are right.. I should not have used that word. I apologyze and i have deleted that comment :D
No worries GOD bless and take care☺
@@LyraKeltica61 Sandy amen
Should have given him a ride & some money to buy food.
He did after the interview
They are not invisible, we are blind.
Well.... wouldn't that make him *literally* invisible? 🤔
@De Sign I agree too painful
My god... your comment... I dropped my coffee, my cat died of cardiac arrest totally stunned at the genius of your conment.
DeeREAL no
@Jack D lol yea move somewhere where you really have absolutely nobody that's smart shit how dow you afford to just pack up and move if you cant even afford to eat
Hope this man turns out to be a success story. He seems sincere.
This guy has soul. So much character. He's obviously an A-list actor in a nearby parallel universe.
I feel so bad for him 😢
Lovey comment👍✨✨
I have a homeless friend living with me since November 2017. I saw him on the street emaciated and dirty. He was sleeping in a garage. I have a sun room back of my house so with a twin bed, a new shaver, food and a place to shower he is surviving and thriving now. He has a small job at a good restraunt here. It's not easy as my personal space has changed but I could not in good conscious left him where he was.
Human beings were meant to demonstrate love and compassion, to love. Put your money where your mouths are folks.
Stop talking a good game and live a good game. Help someone up.
Sorry Dennis damn hard I know.
RenegadeTimes Well done...god sees everything.
We need more people like you...you did the right thing.bless you.
You're a good person for doing what you've done for him.
RenegadeTimes thank God for people like you!
God bless you!
Truth!
Being homeless is the absolute worst feeling in the world. Having nothing to do. Not knowing when you are going to eat again while being thirsty and starving. Sneaking into public bathrooms. Freezing at night. Being alone and scared. The dirty looks from people. Going through all of this day after day.
I got tears after watching this video... Man
and the most hurting feeling of it all, is the Despise 'normal' people give.
I go with that saying:
a stray dog's and a cat's life are worth more then that of humans in this era'
You summed it all up well. It's so degrading and most horrible feeling like a piece of trash and that nobody cares about. Like running over someone who is already down.
I wish I realized this when I was still homeless. But you really have lots of stuff you can do. Make a list of all the places in your country you want to see, and start hiking. You won't have this opportunity once you have a fulltime job and bills to pay. At least not for many years. Take temp jobs, use that for your hiking supplies, a tent, campsites, etc. Buy a cheap acoustic guitar. Teach yourself the open chords and learn some simple songs. Playing on a corner is not the same as panhandling because you are providing a service for tips. You can, and probably will get in trouble if you just fly a sign, it's technically illegal.
@@justxho When I was homeless I fully understood that the disdain people show was the result of how other homeless people in the area behaved. Most of the "fellow" homeless people I met were horribly selfish and entitled people. I saw one of them literally assault a man over a single cigarette. I'm sure most of them are still homeless too, because they refused to do the things necessary to get out. You can't just spend all the money that comes into your hands. That's what most of them do. Especially in Orlando, they all just got high on molly and didn't seem to care if they ever got off the streets.
So having this attitude, that the normal people who are literally doing what they need to not to be homeless themselves, are somehow obligated to help you, is part of what is keeping you homeless. Nobody owes you anything.
Also consider that you, most likely, are not the *only* person asking them for help. There are other homeless asking for the same things. There may even be family asking for help. Just because they don't help you, right this instant, when you ask doesn't mean they hate all homeless people. This is an incredibly selfish viewpoint.
This brings me to very biggest piece of advice I can give any homeless person: stay away from other homeless people as much as possible. They will hold you down. They will want you to share everything, so that you always have nothing. They have no remorse or guilt. In the off chance you find another homeless person who actually wants to work as a team, and pull their share, good, but it's impossibly rare.
I hate that people think these people are lazy just because they’re homeless. These are just regular people who are unlucky.
He had 3 wishes and none of them were about him. What a dude! 👌It's 2023 now and the video was made in 2018. I would love to know that Dennis is doing better now and living in an apartment. 🙏
🙄 end of homelessness
@@BestMods168 he could have said "For me not to be homeless" - he was thinking of all homeless people out there.
I too would like an update. He' not camping and defecating on people's front steps, and I assume he is sober and not violent. He appears to have some self-respect even though he's in a tough place.
End of narcissistic and show off society
This actor looks like he is perfect for all kinds of roles.
He looks like the guy from shawshank redemption. The screws beat him into a vegetable
Maybe someone will see this and give him some good acting work.
He looks like he could be Entrepreneur Steve Hawk's brother. Accent, voice tone, expressions etc.
Yesss. Good thing.
Fuckin true.
The fact that his wishes weren’t for himself... shows he’s a very kind and selfless person
It’s such a shame he seems like such a good and smart guy too
His family isnt worth shit. Most arent. Hope hes able to get a sag card again.
Not exactly. The experience humbles you. I've been there before myself. It makes you understand you are not immune from degradation even if you are a kind or selfless person.
You just took the words out of my mouth
Most homeless are homeless for being selfless, my dad included unfortunately. Nice guys do finish last in this society of "sharks".
As a homeless 62 year old ( no drugs or alcohol involved ) I can truly understand and empathize with this human being.
how are you posting this?..
@@timn4481 if you have a need to know then I’ll quickly explain in one and only one word my friend ---Library. I hope you’re day is a wonderful one, ✌️.
Homeless people tend to have phones in this day and age. Silly question.
@@treyburro5525 Thank you.
I hope things turn around for you. There is no reason anybody in a so-called civilized country like America should be homeless.
There isn’t any family or friends in today’s world, it’s do everything on your own now. Praying for all in this situation
i was homeless , and COMPLETLY embarrassed about it.....Today i own house and am a single dad who was asked by my child to live with me.....SO BLESSED
passtheBuck Canuck God bless you and your child. Homelessness is most difficult.

passtheBuck Canuck good for you bro, same spot, looking to progress to better spot and get my kids to live with me.
lang 1007 Honestly....It was like snorkeling in the ocean....You leave everything you think is normal, EVERYTHING , and observe a completely new world right in front of your eyes.... Analyse everything and pay attention to the people around you in this new world....Be weary and step light into well known scenarios that scare ( because they should)..... GO GET ANY KIND SCHOOLING YOU CAN...I GOT FUNDING FOR WELDING SCHOOL FROM THE GOVERNMENT....I only completed grade 11 in school so a trade was the route for me....Always loved the oilfield here in Alberta Canada, It has been very good to me...
Hey can I ask what you did to climb out of it?
The saddest part of this video for me is seeing an honest guy just talk candidly about how he has got to where he is. He's not putting on an act, playing for sympathy, or anything other than just describing his situation.
Most people assume bad habits have landed people into a world of homelessness, and as this guy has just said, it can happen without warrant and to those who were once living a 'normal' life.
I have experienced homelessness. It's the constant thinking you have to do which wears you down. Where is the next meal? When can I use a bathroom next? Where can I find somewhere quiet and dry just to close my eyes and get some rest?
I pray to God this guy, and others who suffer similarly, can find hope to start with and then possibly the answers to get themselves back on track. I've been fortunate enough to be able to get myself back in a solid job and relationship, but really wish that for others who have gone through, or are currently going through, a similar experience.
Don't judge, just be considerate and help whenever you can. It means the world to someone who has nothing. ✌️❤️

It’s easy to say cause the wish’s ain’t real bet he would wish for some money if it was and I wouldn’t blame him I would do the same
@@phoenixwillrise7319 Or maybe that's just the kind of person that he is. Selfless, never thinks of himself. Maybe because he trusted others too much that's what partly caused his circumstances? He seems like such a genuine man. Folks like him just need one damn break in life. It's just not fair at all.
B Humphries sure
@TheFallsCapone He stated he doesn't have addiction issues. Not all homeless folks are drug addicts or alcoholics. He spoke about him self mostly, because the interview is about HIM. And maybe he doesn't have much family? There are a million reasons why one could be estranged from their family. I only speak to my mom, and don't not have a relationship with any other family members. It has nothing to do with drugs/alcohol or crime. They are just horrible, toxic people. And as far as friends go, maybe he doesn't have any friends with the means to help him? You cannot judge a book by it's cover, and certainly can't prejudge him based upon a six minute video. Like he said, people deserve a second chance in life! I wish I was able to contact him and help out in some way!
@TheFallsCapone You are right that you cannot always believe what you are told. My brother is a drug addict and has been homeless many times because of it. For a long time I would give him money when he would ask for it, because I always felt bad for him and didn't want to see him go without. But then it got to the point I realized he was just using the money for drugs. And when he asked for help, I told him to tell me what he needed, and I would go buy it. He completely flipped out on me because of it! His addictions have destroyed our family. I know you've got to be careful about being too trusting. But, I can assure you that not ALL homeless folks are addicts. I have met a few here and there. And sometimes folks can be a victim of circumstances. I met a woman and her daughter living out of their van. (In Indianapolis, IN). The mom had been laid off work, and slowly but surely they lost everything they had. I had twenty bucks on me, and gave it all to her. I've always wondered how they were doing.
I hope this dude is in a better place now. Very open, honest and forthright about the situation
God bless you, Dennis
Here’s hoping, 4 years later, you have found your way out of that situation xx
I had a 15 year stretch of bad luck that seemingly wouldn't end. I couldn't believe I could be so unlucky. I was broken for many years and at one point me and my dog where living on rice with stock cubes under a old blanket in an empty apartment but I kept going in hope that hard work must finally pay off. Now I have a family and I'm the director of a successful company. I never judge people like this. It can happen to anyone.
My story is similar... 60s disabled couldn't work no booze or drugs, no mental...economic collapse wiped me out after a stroke and no credit, couldn't rent anything..couldn't pay attention..13 yrs homeless in car, other places...finally last summer was delivered with an affordable apt..
Jesus is Lord and he took care of me
Hearing you found resolve after 15 years of pain really inspires me to not give up
@@AtibaVV Glad to hear it. Take each day, week, month, year and decade as you find it and try to develop positive routines. Small steps slowly carry you a long way before you know it. I hope you find your measure of peace.
We can't even judge the terminally addicted? The ones screaming at terrified pedestrians until their throats bleed? The ones who rape and stab women who come too close to their tents on the walking trails and parks? The ones who drag bags of trash and stolen bicycles into the drainage canals to rifle through them, destroying the environment? The ones who we spend millions of dollars to rehabilitate and then they just go back to their junkie buddies on the streets? Who can we judge?
@@newchannelwtfwhy Why are you really asking? Of course you are free to be an asshole and judge whoever you want like that. Just remember that all you are doing is trying to justify to yourself why you lack compassion and sympathy for fellow human beings. You must convince yourself that it is all their fault for being in this miserable situation because otherwise the alternative explanation would be that we all live in a barbaric system that breeds such conditions.
where are those who say "only lazy people become homeless"
honest people end up homeless while cheaters and scammers enjoy on honest people's money!!!
Agree
Ok!!!
This is truth. I see the system daily.
So true.
True!!!
I was previously homeless a long time ago. At that stage , it seems like everyone gives up on you. But there's always someone. Tell your story It's possible to get out, never give up, no matter how hopeless it seems. ❤
I know this man, he is someone i have worked with. He is a beautiful human being. One the world should be very proud of.
He is an amazing singer and actor but more importantly a friend.
I am gutted i live on the other side of the world and only have enough money to get by on week to week myself.
Dennis....my door is always open to you and i can get you weekly work over here.
All my love X
Why aren't you actively trying to reach out and help him then? Sweet WORDs only does so much.
Why in the world wont you help him i mean cant say you dont know his situation because after this segment you sure do help oit please make a difference mr crumb
I am helping from the other side of the world.
i have managed to exchange a message with him and have said i will do a benefit concert to help him out.
Please don't attack me as i am trying to help with lots of my own big issues of my own too xx
Please leave Mr. Cumbria alone. You know nothing about his world. I believe whole heartedly, he will connect with Dennis. He has reached out, and that is a beautiful soul right there.

I keep coming back to this clip hoping to hear a positive update on Dennis
This is four years ago. I hope he is doing okay now. Wishing him all the best.❤ He’s right, sometimes stuff just happens, which we have no control over. Don’t judge. You don’t know what happened to people to end up homeless. So very sad😢
This guy is homeless and when asked what his three wishes are,...well he wished for things that would benefit other people, not just himself. Very rare to find a soul out there like this!!
Totally agree Tommy.
his name is Denis
He had to go through it to understand. He had to be humbled. We all have to be. It's called Humanity.
Alot of the people being interviewed in this channel have very similar wishes
I noticed that as well! I wish him well and is a good soul!

In the middle of what he was talking about...I felt this through my bones
It’s exactly what happened to us and it hit me when he said it. The neglect of those we thought would hold us was devastating.
alex Cooper you really can’t. 😞
I feal sorry for this guy and for everyone in this kind of situations. But one think I am suspicious about is: when he get a job, why can't he keep it? And that car he got robed off, can we be sure he didn't sell it or whatever to get to the money for whatever, possibly drugs? I mean that's the second car he,, lost'' do to some weird circumstances.
@alex entrepreneur then with a little scopolamine I could have you sign all your money over to me.
I cried seeing this. I hope things got better for him. This is very sad and relatable..

2020 was the worst year of my life. I had a good job in Sydney Australia, living by myself and my cat, saving money, working out everyday, saving for holidays..... One day I got so sick I ended at the hospital.... Blood cancer diagnosed... I thought I was going to die.... I lost so much weight and probably I needed blood transfusion... In the middle of covid crisis..... Then I got fired from my job, I couldn't work as I was extremely sick at the time.... Four months later I got a little bit better but I was still underweight and had anemia.. I took a flight back home as my savings were going down fast and if I didn't act quickly I will end up dead at the hospital or homeless. Right now I'm doing better, living with my parents as I'm still recovering but when shit happens, it happens very fast.... Also my partner at that time didn't help me, he left me too... So I lost everything, my savings, my job, my financial freedom, my independence, my health......... The worst year of my life!!! I still have some health issues and I'm broke but at least I'm alive.. 🙄
Sorry to hear that, I hope you continue to feel better!
Blessings to you i pray for a better times for you
I'll pray for you 🙏🏻
You're an inspiration for us because you didn't give up, I am glad your family stood by you, you'll be better in no time, just take care of your parents
Praying you feel way better, proud of you!!

Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌
He is carpenter now as I read up
America is a certain type of country, you can work hard and get completely screwed over by the system.
Yes, praying will definately help him and others to get out of a situation that God has got him into.
Any1 that gets married.. dont get married if your a man. Simple as that.
What a lovely man 😢 James from Ireland says you're special to God I feel sorry for you and homeless people all over the world.
I know it's hard. But the best thing to do when faced with homelessness in a super-expensive city like LA...is to regroup in a cheaper city. I hit a rough patch after traveling for 3 years...but I moved to a small town in the Midwest. It gave me the chance to pay off my crippling debt and rebuild my credit score. I am actually from LA and had been living unemployed for a year...so leaving LA did mean losing my support network. But I could get into a 4 bedroom rental for 650 dollars. And the modest job I got covered my bills. And then when I was on my feet, I returned to the city in which I grew up--LA--and am totally stable, own a vehicle, and own property..
You can see the sadness in this man...I truly do hope he's found a a way out of that mess.
May God provide a home fir him. He's always trying to work and he still can't afford a place to live. It breaks my heart
There's no way to escape the brutality of life. Not everyone makes it, facts are hard to accept, but I'm just stating the obvious.

Bitch, look for him and help him since you know him! “I hope you’re doing better now, D.” Wtf is that!?
@@DINOKH99 couldn’t agree more
Do you know what has happened to him since that interview ,
I really hope he's in a better place today! Sending Love to him❣️🥰
A lesson for everyone. Always save your money independently from your partner. No matter how much you love your partner.
You don't know what could happen in 10 years, think from logic. And always keep saving structurally. And yes, share costs together. Be fair.
This advice was free.
Especially in the USA where marriage laws are totally against men (or the one with more money). Always have a backup plan - money to quit your job and/or leave a failed relationship. It's about planning for your own survival. Those who do not plan, plan on relying on other people's generosity or outright failure.
Well said have a back up plan. Then say to your partner this is for me, end of discussion.
A good man, had some bad luck
@@blagger42 nooo. Never mention it to no one.
Very true, have to protect yourself , you never know ...
Very thought provoking. I wish you well Sir. You deserve to live your best life from now, being wise and kind.
Don't abandon your friends. We all need help sometimes. The only way through, is not around. We all struggle. You all, have got... to get through it. Each day work to improve yourself. Nothing will happen overnight. Keep fighting. Keep reaching out. Don't get stagnant and give up. Pray. Ask whatever benevolent being you want to. Just speak to them. Reach beyond yourself in this life.
This guy doesn't even have a selfish wish, he's homeless and still wants what's best for the world and not just himself, that's goddamn beautiful I hope he's doing better now but life isnt fair like that.
Made me cry. He has a nice heart. Sometimes it's not your fault it's just time is not perfect for you. Hope he gets his normal life back.

The simple fact that the 3 wishes he chose instinctively were wishes for the whole world instead of for himself proves how much of a great and rare human he is. Chances are if you ask me to make 3 wishes they’d be for me... He also never talked bad about his ex girlfriend or said it was other people's fault. It's absolutely horrible that lots of people with no heart/empathy live comfortably and it's often the most kind-hearted people who end up homeless. :(
Ouch so true. But then again the story of Snow White & Rose Red teaches us that good fortune💍💰follows those who are truly kind hearted. ✨💛✨
People like this are a dime a dozen just go downtown anywhere lmao
That's why it is written,"through much tribulations shall we enter the Kingdom of Heaven" and " God shall redeem the poor of his people, and all tears shall He wipe away" Faith is wonderful when it is obtained like fresh spring water to one athirst, let us Pray,Fast and meditate on the important things in life. 😔Which are growing ever more apparent. Lord bless thee 🙏
@@johniedebt6522 oh shut up lol gods not real and you look foolish right now
That is scripture. It's stated that its easier to thread a camel 🐫through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven
Am a single working parent & when you're down, sadly many people look away, including family, which is really hard, because they shouldn't.
Once people get back on their feet they remember who tried to help them when they really needed it. Those who didn’t try to help should be forgotten and dismissed.
Life happens and when this happens you find out who your friends are. So sorry this happened to you. I've been through it as well. Keep your positive attitude and ✌️ & ❤️
you guys notice how all three of his wishes were literally selfless? what an amazing dude.
@PED GSPmy boy calm down
@PED GSPfacts 💯 after a downfall you become humble but I really feel sorry for the man
@@kenmoks1390 why u think he was an asshole before? Shitty things happen to humble people too
Not amazing, most homeless people are like that, because its easy to be selfless when you have nothing. I've seen shit like this in person, they are crabs in a bucket! This guy, like so many others, will never leave the street, he has found his community!
@PED GSP stop crying you need a kiss in the forehead?
My heart goes out to you, my friend. I'm an actor and have faced homelessness. Being on the street. Its a bottomless pit that the judgemental onlooker can't begin to fathom. I NEVER ignore a man or women in legitimate need. Even if its just to sit with them for a while and listen. Give a cigaratette, make a phone call, acknowledge their existence. Most of the time I can't afford to help myself but I will always do what I can. Always.
Basically being a movie actor has nothing to do with art or simply the desire to practice a form of expression.
Cinema is always the same as itself by the Lumière brothers age: a bit of cheap amazement .
EvenByzantine icons are more dynamic in content ...
Cinema does not represent drama, it is a drama itself even when movies are comedies or romantic stories.
Movie actors are either evil magic pipers for unwary or unwary people lost in a nightmare that mingles with daydreams of fame, wealth and sex: that’s the tragedy.
Cigarettes are bad for you. You shouldn't be giving any out. Smh.
Greetings. Have a nice day. Cocaine would be better
I think for some, they have a distorted view that homelessness is because of irresponsible behavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, or failing to conform to societal standards in seeking employment. This is true in some cases, but not all. When someone homeless approaches them for money, they may automatically assume the individual will use it to support their drug or alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, genuine homeless people without these ulterior motives will be denied help because of it. I know sometimes it is difficult in discerning who is and not honest in these cases, but it is good to have a heart that a lot of them are in need.
Agreed with all except the cigarette, which is the most hideous, destructive, ugly, ocean and air polluting trash, an addiction that causes homelessness. It's the one case where I don't give a dollar: if the person is smoking when they ask. On all other points, well said sir and I agree.
He is amazing, really intellectual and smart. Also very sensitive and positive.
I hope and pray that this good man is doing better and well. God Bless us all🙏🏾
Well from first hand experience , I too was homeless after I was diagnosed with colon cancer . The partner I was with said "I can't watch you die you have to go" and there was no one I could turn to. And here it is 6 years later and still alive . Living well enough, a place I call home , enough food and entertainment . Now the best part of all love has entered my life again. My thanks for God and all of you that took time to read this message.
I can't watch you die, sooo.. here is some money every month, networks of mine you can lean on, a phone number for social services, some nutritional support info, and the terms of your stay till you find a caretaker home, etc etc
@Trinity M that area they live in is probably like that. Full of emotional trauma = normalized
Rejection is God's protection. Chin up!
Never put your eggs in one basket. Good luck
@@baloog8lol that would be to make the person leaving feel better, not the person being left
This man is literally homeless and the first wish he made was not for money but to cure all diseases I hope life blesses this man in every way possible cause I can tell that man is selfless and humble.
"Literally". Is there another way of being homeless?
@@toffeeriot4219 The word "literally" has been used so much for emphasis that they expanded the definition to include it.
@@toffeeriot4219 He was trying to reiterate that he was homeless.
You know the interviewer is not a magical genie right?
Wishes are fantasy, does no one any good. Second, is there a way to be "figuratively" homeless? As opposed to "literally" homeless.
It’s not easy buddy. I’m going through a rough patch & can’t see a way out. 🙏🏼
Such a nice person. Hope his wishes become true. For all.
This is a situation ANYONE can go through when you have that avalanche of unfortunate events and literally have nowhere to go, no friends, no family to really look up to. I've noticed those going through the hardest situations often have good spirits on the outside, but surely it's rough emotional turbulence inside. This is heartbreaking but I am thankful that there are channels such as Invisible People that show individuals what is really going on with those in need in the world. Humanity is out there, it is just unfortunate that it isn't shown as much as hate is. Notice the wishes are rarely ever selfish in nature?
Cure of deadly diseases.
The end of homelessness and poverty.
World peace.
Bless this man.
I've noticed this a long time ago and I'm only 19
Good.
yeah though it's always a risk to live with someone. But it's nice to see someone not aggressively begging I admit.
Mѕ.Tıffɑпy,
It's not "unfortunate events" that lead to homelessness. It is actually a very predictable unfolding of the current monetary/"economic" system.
countercurrentnews.info/2016/09/cia-jet-crashed-with-4-tons-on-board/ Most of the UNFORTUNATE EVENTS was a RESULT of DRUGS HABIT …. there are LOTS of People who EARNED less than the MINIMUM WAGE but they were ABLE to PAY the MORGAGE and LOTS of CELEBRITIES went BROKE & DIE at their early AGE because of DRUGS HABIT...…. FAMILIES & FRIENDS are AFRAID to GIVE SHELTER to JUNKIES because they EVEN KILL their PARENTS when they are HIGH on DRUGS..... that's WHY ONLY FEW junkies in CHINA, SINGAPORE, RUSSIA Philippines BECAUSE DRUGS CARTEL, Drug PEDDLERS, USERS are NOT PROTECTED by the Damn HUMAN Rights LAW ….. they MUST be EXTERMINATED before they can VICTIMIZE the INOOCENT Children..... countercurrentnews.info/2016/09/cia-jet-crashed-with-4-tons-on-board/
The good thing you discover when your are broke or sick or homeless, is how many real friends you have.
@Pops H how is that sad?
@Pops H Now you rely on them to make you happy. What will you do when no one is there? We can't live life attached to anything, everything ends at some point. I love myself and myself only, I never let myself down and I will never leave me. You are your only real friend. You should never let anyone control your happiness. I have no friends because I don't need them to produce joy, I can do so alone.
Or how many fake friends you Had!
Surprising actually
@Pops H We'll see whose the sad one when *_our_* friends are gone I guess, or should I say *_your._*
Heartbreaking. Wishing him the best
His name is Dennis Kyle he was an actor, singer, dancer, director, concert solo etc. he has a lot of experiences under his belt i hope he be ok God bless him.
Start working in Christian films. They’ll help you.
@David Lutz come on bro
@David Lutz well I was looking at other comments and apparently he's a carpenter now. That's something.
Thank you for his name. I have a regular prayer list but now there’s a new one so I’m writing down names so I don’t forget. I know a lot of people think that’s dumb but it works...
I just read his profile on LinkedIn. Wow. Yes! This can be any one of us.
Homelessness could happen to anyone it doesn't matter how you look, age, or income just be thankful for what you have
Something tells me income helps forgo homelessness somehow.
I’m definitely thankful for what I have for damn sure
TRUTH!!
A hurricane?
Daniel Garcia TRUE !
so true…hopefully he’s doing much better now🙏🏿
my heart goes out to you. i hope 5 years later you are in a better situation
3 wishes he said,did you notice he didn’t wish anything for himself,God bless you my Friend ❤️
Tomy Jenkins god left guys like him a long time ago
@@Prestonesfpv God left us all a long time ago. We were an old toy to him till he got a new one. Think woody and buzz.
Guy ends with "I hope there's some usable footage there" like a true actor. What a nice guy Dennis is.
guy made one mistake and it was his down fall every man needs to watch this.
if she is not helpful at less find one thats not adding to your problems in life
Kinda looks like Dan soder
@@sko1beer I'm pretty sure that his partner was another guy (not a she), but that is still good advice (straight or gay).
Dennis is a gay
@@MyKali2009 why?
sad thing is there are people exactly like this man, but in even harder times, dealing with disability, and have no family support since they all live in different states. He is still lucky
Guys got the heart of gold
"Go catch your bus. " Sir u could have given him a ride or $20 for his time 🤔😢
I see this reaction under many of those videos. Why do people expect that it is just his duty to help?! Sorry but it is really so unfair! Why we don't help? Why each of us don't at least try to help those people? Could be food, clothes or just a human question: Hey, how are you? What do you need most?
@@ralitsapetrunova314 It seems like for this interviewer, an obvious choice to help, even in a small way is necessary. You have basically exploited this man for your purpose & views. The least he could do is give back to him. The man even said he missed his bus.... I just see the obvious choice here.
Ralitsa Petrunova My sentiments are of the same. They should at least give them something for giving him the footage for this video...smh
@@ralitsapetrunova314 Because the video he recorded of him got millions of views.
I mean the interviewer is exploiting this man and countless others it's the least he could do.
I wish this man the success and future he deserves.
God bless you brother I hope life has improved for you, love from Ireland 🇮🇪🙏❤
3:11 Whenever I hear a voice turning into a hurtful spectrum of pain I cannot help but shed a tear for the individual. I am so much luckier than most people.
Jesus Christ, may this man be blessed all the days of his life. Filled with so much hope and humility in this world of despair.
Amen, Amen, and Amen.🙏🌈✝🌹💖✝📽🎬🎥🍀🌟✝
If I lived in L.A. I would let him live with me. Poor man.
A little perseverance and a good attitude can take you far.
Please don't misuse the Name of God.
@Rusty Climber NO, incorrect what you are saying.
The Holy Bible is written by several people inspired bij God.
It is 100% true and has really happened and is still happening now what is written in it.
Everybody will once meet God when He is going to judge.
You are using His Holy Name, just for popular.
Turn your way to God buddy.
Read this Holy Bible for answers, for consolatian, read the New Testament in it for the Gospel.
Go to church.
Pray God for forgiveniss of your sins through the powerful work of His Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
This guy opened my eyes im blessed and still complain. I Will never complain again😔
Manuel Contreras defiantly not
🏁🏁💯💯
@Odd Fish Thanks for the negativity you must be one of those....
@Odd Fish Ok and this advice is coming from an odd 🐟... Right on bru ill let ur buddy odd shark about it...
Manuel Contreras LMAO U JUST COMPLAINED IN THIS COMMENT SECTION ALREADY! 😂😂😂
I teared up when he did. We need such a radical new approach to helping people like this with a basic safety net. What a sweet guy. Nobody deserves to go through this. Remember you are always closer to being homeless than you are to a billionaire.
Step 1: get sober and stay sober. Until someone on the street does #1, there is no next step.
This is extremely sad and made made me cry! I hope he is ok
Dennis Kyle is a very humble man and I'm happy to see the update where he is now doing much better in his life.
Its very upsetting to see good people losing jobs over vax mandates.
Can you give me the update? What happened
How can I reach directly to help ?
@@harpran346 oh well.
WHY SHOULD SOMEONE HAVE TO RISK GETTING SICK BECAUSE SOME SELFISH POS WONT TAKE A SHOT?
NO SYMPATHY HERE.
@@harpran346 :( It would be more upsetting if you knew how it was if he or his mother died because of a preventable disease.

Stay strong, didn't give up, and pray for you all.
Love you Dennis. Hope all is well now.
Man, I really feel for this guy. He's intelligent and appears to have a good character. I wish I had enough money to help people like this who truly deserve it.
Hopefully the person who WON THE BILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WILL GIVE TO PEOPLE IN NEED. But I wonder where Bill Gates and the AMAZON BILLIONAIRS ARE?... THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.!!!!!!... Such a disgrace, ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA!!!!!!
which ones don't truly deserve it.....

Teared up on this statement.
Sincerely hope this guy has been given a better path since this was filmed
''SOME TIMES THE CHOICE IS MADE FOR YOU'' that was deep
Exactly. And to think there's no homelessness in North Korea... Ouch! Who would've thought.
Never ! Be in control. We have more opportunity than anyone! He could work anywhere.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌
The MAJORITY of the time choices is made for you. That’s what most ppl do not like to admit bc it tears they the illusion that you truly have free will to make your own choices. Too many people, the system, strange spiritual phenomena and weather and narcissistic extroverted ppl who love office politics makes the choices for you. Most poor and those who suffer understand that phrase he just made. But it wasn’t like this when Jimmy Carter was in charge. It was 100% better for all races. That’s what Democracy brought not the Republicans. All of these are the effects of Reagan’s triple down economics.
@@mikehoncho9344 lol yeah, all that hollywood and sexual abuse stuff
