RJ Mitte, the actor who played Walter White Jr. on Breaking Bad, died at 34 in Brownsville, Texas, on Oct.

12.

No cause of death was shared.

Mitte was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and moved to Los Angeles with his mother and sister to pursue acting.

He was 13 when he got his breakthrough role on the series.

Mitte has cerebral palsy, and the show’s creator wanted an actor with the condition for the part.

After the series ended in 2013, Mitte advocated for performers with disabilities and worked with several organizations.

He also continued acting, though he said the role sometimes made it harder for people to see him in other parts.

The available information does not say what happens next.
