Breaking Bad actor, RJ Mitte dies at 34

American actor RJ Mitte has died at the age of 34 in Brownsville, Texas. Mitte was best known for playing Walter White Jr. on nearly every episode of the five seasons of the AMC drama series Breaking Bad. According to KahawaTungu, the actor was declared dead on October 12, and the Brownsville Police Department stated that no foul play is suspected while an investigation remains ongoing. While a county official confirmed the death, the cause and manner of death have not been determined.

Mitte, who lived with cerebral palsy, was a philanthropist and a passionate advocate for disability rights. His representative, Sean Reilly, told KahawaTungu that Mitte used his platform to promote representation for people with disabilities and served as an ambassador for Shriners Children’s and United Cerebral Palsy. He also created The Mitte Foundation to support community initiatives.

In his final interview on The Joe Vulpis Podcast, which took place seven days before his death, Mitte discussed the legacy of Breaking Bad, suggesting the series finale ended the journey of Heisenberg but left the White family with many unanswered questions. He also noted the difficulty of trying to surpass the high standard set by the series. Bryan Cranston paid tribute to Mitte on Instagram, writing, “I’ll miss you, son.”
