RJ Mitte Passed Away

When AMC’s Breaking Bad premiered in 2008, audiences were introduced to Walter “Flynn” White Jr.—the resilient, breakfast-loving teenage son of drug kingpin Walter White. Brought to life by actor RJ Mitte, the character was a refreshing departure from television tropes: a teenager navigating normal family dynamics while living with cerebral palsy.

However, Mitte’s impact reaches far beyond his famous breakout role. From overcoming severe physical challenges in his youth to becoming a prominent advocate for disability representation in Hollywood, RJ Mitte has forged a unique and inspiring career.

Rest in peace
