RJ Mitte, Breaking Bad actor, dies at 34

Another sad unnecessary death of a young actor ... RIP 🙏 “It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte,” his reps said.

been readin bout rj mitte and crying. can you imagine how many people around the world hadn't really been introduced to cerebral palsy until they (we 🙋🏻‍♂️) met walter jr. on bb? that character is so remembered because we loved rj's work, bc it's perfect. huge legacy of disability awareness. thanks rj.

I would tell you to watch the 2018 Mexican film Time Share to see RJ Mitte take his heel turn but I don’t know if it’s even available to watch anymore. It’s sad Mitte has passed and even sadder when his work is impossible to find.

Bryan Cranston pays tribute to his ‘BREAKING BAD’ on-screen son RJ Mitte following his tragic death. “We were texting each other just a few weeks ago - figuring out when we could meet for lunch. [...] I do know that I loved him.” #BreakingBad #BryanCranston #RJMitte

We're saddened by the passing of RJ Mitte, who rose to fame playing Walter "Flynn" White Jr. on the hit series ‘Breaking Bad.’ Mitte won a Screen Actors Guild Award for best drama ensemble in 2014 for the show's final season. #SagAftraMember since 2006. https://ow.ly/Zb8050ZX0Lo

Very sad about the passing of RJ Mitte, who was someone I actually had the pleasure of hanging out with a few times. He was sweet, compassionate, down to earth, and hilarious He showed up to lots of house parties in ABQ while Breaking Bad was filming and always acted very cool about it.

RJ Mitte… goddamn. A fine actor and did so much for disability awareness, too. Would have loved to have worked with him. RIP fella x

I have a beautiful and heartbreaking interview from @thechildrenshour.bsky.social with RJ Mitte at 18 years old talking about being bullied when he was in school. I was listening to it today bawling my eyes out. You were a good one RJ. I wish you knew.

RJ Mitte, the young actor best known for playing Walter White Jr in ‘Breaking Bad,’ has died, his representatives told AFP. He was 34. The cause of death for the actor, who lived with cerebral palsy, was not immediately revealed. u.afp.com/SCxH

Not sure who handles the horror movie watch-alongs here (can never square them with my schedule), but might be cool to honor RJ Mitte soon with a watch-along of 2020 thriller “The Oak Room,” which is streaming on Prime, Hoopla, and Tubi. #horrorsky

Oh, no! RJ Mitte, Walter White’s Son on ‘Breaking Bad,’ Dies at 34. Wonderful actor & advocate for people w/ cerebral palsy.

Man losing RJ Mitte sucks because we really appreciated his disability activism. Obviously we just have autism, but we did see a lot of our experience growing up in his BB performance. Can't imagine it being as genuine without him

No small parts, only small actors. RJ Mitte made the most of his role on Breaking Bad. When he learns the man he put on a pedestal has been dealing meth and got his uncle killed, he doesn't hold back. Righteously stabs Walt Sr. in the heart for his betrayal of his family and everything decent.

Damn. 💔 I have fam with severe cerebral palsy so it was great to see CP represented in this character. Sad news. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/a...

Shocked and saddened by the news of RJ Mitte's passing. A genuinely lovely guy. I interviewed him when Standing Up for Sunny came out and he was such a delight to talk to. RIP
