RJ Mitte, known for playing Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad, has died at 34. He used his platform to advocate for disability representation and inclusion, serving as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and founding the Mitte Foundation. Colleagues emphasise his on-screen honesty with cerebral palsy and his role in opening opportunities for disabled performers.
