today13 October 2026

Background

Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte, who was reported to have died at the age of 34, has been remembered by his co-stars, including Bryan Cranston, who mourned the loss of the actor who played his on-screen son, Walter White Jr.

Cranston revealed that he and Mitte had exchanged messages just weeks earlier about meeting for lunch. Their planned reunion never took place, leaving Cranston reflecting on their close bond.

Mitte, who has cerebral palsy, was also known for advocating greater representation and opportunities for performers with disabilities in the entertainment industry. Other Breaking Bad cast members, including Aaron Paul and Dean Norris, also paid tribute to their co-star and reflected on his impact.
