So, I was just sitting here, munching on my popcorn, re-watching Breaking Bad for the thousandth time - you know, because why not? - when I got a notification that stopped me in my tracks. RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. (or, as we all know him, Flynn), had passed away. I mean, I nearly choked on my popcorn. I was like, "No way, not Flynn!"
Now, I know what you're thinking, "But wasn't he, like, 16 in the show?" Nope, that's just how good an actor he was. RJ was actually born on August 21, 1992, which makes him - or rather, made him - 34. Yeah, I know, it's crazy to think about. He was a whole decade older than his on-screen character. But that's acting for you, right?
Remembering RJ Mitte
RJ was born with cerebral palsy, which he brought to life on screen through his character. He once said, "I want people to know that I'm an actor, not a kid with cerebral palsy." And man, did he prove that. He was a fantastic actor, and his performance as Flynn was a big part of what made Breaking Bad so special. I mean, who can forget his iconic line, "Say my name!"
Must Read
RJ's career wasn't just about Breaking Bad, though. He also starred in Switched at Birth, Glee, and even had a role in the movie Silent But Deadly. He was a busy guy, and it's clear that he loved what he did. You could see it in his performances.
But RJ wasn't just an actor. He was also an advocate for people with disabilities. He once said, "I want to show people that just because you have a disability, it doesn't mean you can't do what you want to do." And that's exactly what he did. He broke barriers, both on and off screen.
