Actors pay tribute to Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte after his death at 34

Actor RJ Mitte, best known as Walter White Jr. on the drama Breaking Bad, died Monday at age 34.

The source does not give a cause of death.

Dean Joseph Norris, who played Mitte’s on-screen uncle on the show, said he was heartbroken and remembered Mitte as kind.

Marlee Matlin, who worked with him on Switched at Birth, also shared a tribute.

Mitte had cerebral palsy, like his Breaking Bad character, and became a disability rights advocate and philanthropist.

Fellow actor Micah Fowler praised his advocacy and said Mitte helped him gain confidence as an actor.
