We were saddened to hear that RJ Mitte, who played Walt Jr. on Breaking Bad, has died. Mitte was 34.
He spent years advocating for people with disabilities, working to increase representation in film and TV and contributing to anti-bullying initiatives.
His representatives have shared that he died by su***de. Out of respect for him and his family, it’s best not to speculate about what he may have been going through.
If you’re having thoughts of su***de or finding it hard to keep going, support is available and things can get better. In Canada or the US, you can call or text 988.
