RJ Mitte played Walter White Jr. across all five seasons of Breaking Bad, and he brought something to the role most actors could not: like the character, Mitte has cerebral palsy. He pushed for the part to be written honestly and ended up giving the show its most grounded emotional anchor, the kid trying to make sense of a father he did not recognize anymore.

Since the series wrapped he has worked steadily in film and television, including Switched at Birth, House of Last Things, Dixieland, Who's Driving Doug, and the 2021 wrestling drama Triumph, which he also produced. He has modeled for major fashion campaigns and walked in New York Fashion Week.

He is also one of the most visible advocates for disability representation in entertainment, serving as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and speaking regularly about hiring actors with disabilities to play characters with disabilities. He is a thoughtful, funny guy and one of the best conversations you will have at a show.
