RJ Mitte discussed his Breaking Bad role in a final interview before his death

Actor RJ Mitte died by suicide at 34 in Texas, according to the article.

In an interview filmed before his death, he reflected on playing Walter White Jr in the TV series Breaking Bad.

Mitte, who had cerebral palsy, played the teenage son of Walter White, a chemistry teacher who makes methamphetamine after a cancer diagnosis.

Mitte said one of his most complicated scenes was a phone call in which Walter Jr learns about his father's crimes.

The scene shows Walter Jr struggling with his father's reputation and the fact that he has killed his uncle.

Mitte also said watching himself on screen could make him dwell on mistakes, so he watched only a few episodes of the series.

Asked what became of Walter Jr and the rest of the family, Mitte said he did not think they were in a good place.

What people are saying

I really think for me one of the the most complicated scenes that I've had to do was that final phone call... It's the last time he talks to him. In reality, I didn't understand it as much as I do now.

I find for me it doesn't help me. I dwell in it. I'm someone that when I mess up or like something happens, I dwell and I spiral.

I don't think it's a good place. I really don't see Skyler, Walt Jr and Holly are in the best position now.
