  • 'Breaking Bad' Is Busting Stereotypes About Cerebral Palsy
    MENTAL HEALTH FEBRUARY/MARCH 2015 BY LINDA CHILDERS RJ Mi}e of 'Breaking Bad' is Busting Stereotypes About Cerebral Palsy Azer the role of a lifetime, Mi}e is changing how people think about cerebral palsy and speaking out against bullying. On the hit AMC television series Breaking Bad, RJ Mitte portrayed Walter "Flynn" White Jr., a young man with cerebral palsy (CP), the neurologic condition that Mitte was diagnosed with as a toddler. One of the few television actors with a visible disability, Mitte helped shed light on CP, which is marked by impaired motor coordination and affects one in 323 children in the United States. Unlike his on-screen character, Mitte has a milder form of CP, and does not use crutches or slur his speech. Yet the 22-year-old actor has faced many of the same medical and social challenges as White. "People with CP overcome hurdles every day," Mitte says. "One thing I've learned from my disability is that when there is an obstacle, you adapt and grow. You can't let that obstacle break you down and discourage you." Adopted shortly after birth by Ray Frank Mitte Jr. and his wife, Dyna, Mitte was a happy child who walked on his toes as a toddler. Doctors told his parents that if he did not walk normally by age 4, they would perform a heel operation. At the age of 3, a friend of Mitte's grandmother recognized the signs of CP in RJ, and urged the family to have him evaluated at Shriners Hospitals for Children- Shreveport, LA, their hometown.

  • Please Click Here to Read RJ Mitte's Biography
    Best known for his portrayal of Walter “Flynn” White Jr for five riveting seasons of AMC’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning dramatic thriller “Breaking Bad”, RJ Mitte is an actor, advocate and philanthropist who has carved out his niche in Hollywood by breaking down stereotypes and changing people’s mindsets with his easy going demeanor and positive outlook on life. During its final season, the “Breaking Bad” premiere drew approximately 5.9 million viewers, a number that nearly doubled to 10.3 million by the season’s final episode. As Walt Jr., referred to by fans as “The Breakfast King,” Mitte acted as the Cerebral Palsy-afflicted son of Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Skyler (Anna Gunn). Walter Jr.’s Cerebral Palsy on the show was embellished, meaning RJ had to learn how to walk on crutches and slur his speech to create a more dramatic version of his own disability. At the young age of three, Louisiana native Mitte was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, though that has never deterred his drive to succeed in television and film. After moving to Los Angeles due to his sister’s chance encounter with a casting director, Mitte landed roles in various shows such as SHOWTIME’s “Weeds,” NBC’s “Vegas,” CW’s “Everybody Hates Chris” and co-starred on ABC Family’s primetime hit show “Switched at Birth,” until being cast in his life-changing role on “Breaking Bad.” Concluding “Breaking Bad” Mitte, reemerged on the big screen in DIXIELAND, in his first non-handicapped leading role. Following this, he starred in a multitude of films such as: THE RECALL, opposite Wesley Snipes; TIEMPO COMPARTIDO (Official 2018 Selection World Cinema Dramatic Competition at Sundance); RIVER RUNS RED, in 2018, alongside John Cusack and George Lopez; and he also guest starred on Starz’ coming of age television thriller “Now Apocalypse,” which premiered in early 2019.
