Bryan Cranston has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of his Breaking Bad co-star RJ Mitte, who was 34 years old when he died. Cranston and Mitte began their professional relationship when Mitte was just 14 years old, playing the role of Walter White Jr. on the series. Despite Mitte's struggles with cerebral palsy, he never used it as an excuse and instead embraced the demanding filming schedule with determination.
Over time, Cranston noted that Mitte matured into a remarkable actor. Beyond his acting career, Mitte used his platform to advocate for performers with disabilities and headed a charity organization dedicated to supporting the disabled community. Cranston described their last text exchange as them discussing the possibility of meeting for lunch, but it is unclear if that meeting could have altered the course of Mitte's life.
The actor expressed his deep love for Mitte and admitted that he misses him profoundly. Dean Norris, who played DEA agent Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad, also paid tribute to Mitte, remembering him as a sweet young man who always remained in his thoughts.
