Breaking Bad’s Rj Mitte Dies: A Look Back At His Role As Walt Jr.

So, I was sitting here, munching on my breakfast - pancakes, because why not? - when I heard the news. RJ Mitte, the guy who played Walt Jr. in Breaking Bad, has passed away. I mean, talk about a bummer, right? I felt like I'd just found out Walter White was cooking meth in my own kitchen. Again.

Now, if you're anything like me, you might be thinking, "Who's RJ Mitte? And why should I care?" Well, grab a cup of coffee, 'cause we're about to take a little trip down memory lane. And no, I'm not talking about the kind of trip Jesse Pinkman took in the back of that Winnebago.

Meet RJ Mitte: The Original Flynn

RJ Mitte was born in Louisiana, and if you've seen him in action, you'll know he was born to act. He played Walt Jr., or as he was known in the show, Flynn, the son of the one and only Walter White. Now, Walt Jr. wasn't just any kid. He was the kid who loved his dad, despite all the crazy stuff that was going on. He was the kid who loved his breakfast, even when it was just a plate of fried chicken. And he was the kid who, let's face it, had some of the best lines in the show.

Remember the "bitch" scene? You know, the one where Walt Jr. accidentally calls his mom a bitch, and we all had a good laugh? Or how about when he started his own business, Los Pollos Hermanos Jr., with his friend Badger? Those were the days, huh?

More Than Just a Sidekick

Now, you might be thinking, "Yeah, he was funny, but that's about it." But let me tell you, RJ Mitte brought something special to the table. He played Walt Jr. with a kind of innocence and honesty that made you root for him, even when everything else in the show was going to hell in a handbasket. He was the heart of the show, in a way. The one character who seemed to stay true to himself, despite the chaos around him.

And let's not forget, RJ Mitte was also a big advocate for disability awareness. He was born with cerebral palsy, and he used his platform to raise awareness about it. He once said, "I want to show people that having a disability doesn't mean you can't do what you want to do." And boy, did he prove that.

Remembering RJ Mitte

So, here's to RJ Mitte. To Walt Jr., the kid who loved his breakfast, his dad, and his life. To the actor who brought a warmth and honesty to the screen that we'll never forget. To the advocate who showed us that disability doesn't have to mean inability. Rest in peace, RJ. You were one of a kind.

And as we say goodbye to RJ Mitte, let's remember the words of his character, Walt Jr. "Yeah, science!" Because, after all, life is full of surprises, and sometimes, those surprises are the best parts.
