RJ Mitte, the actor who played Walter White’s son on Breaking Bad, has passed away at the age of 34. He died in Brownsville, Texas, and his reps confirmed the news without giving a cause of death. They shared that they’re heartbroken over his loss, describing him as a talented actor and a strong advocate for disability rights. Mitte lived with cerebral palsy, just like his character Walter Jr., and he turned his personal experiences into a mission for awareness and inclusion. His role on Breaking Bad, which was a huge hit, helped him build a platform. The show’s cast even won a SAG Award for ensemble performance. After Breaking Bad, Mitte appeared in shows like Switched at Birth and did some voice work. He also worked with organizations like United Cerebral Palsy and led his own foundation to support community efforts. His family has asked for space to grieve.
