Bryan Cranston Shares 'Deep Despair' Following Death Of Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte

Bryan Cranston said he is in “deep despair” after the death of RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. on Breaking Bad. Mitte, 34, was reportedly found dead at his home on Monday. Cranston posted on Instagram that he met Mitte when he was 14, after being cast as Walter White Jr., and praised his determination while living with cerebral palsy. He said Mitte grew from a “raw” teen during the February 2007 pilot to a fine actor and later became an outspoken advocate for performers with disabilities. Cranston also referenced texting with Mitte weeks earlier about lunch, while noting reports that his death may have been suicide, and shared U.S. resources for those struggling.
