RJ Mitte’s Breaking Bad co-star reveals how he tried to offer RJ Mitte a safe haven and a place to stay in his final days.
“I offered him to stay at my house with my son, just him and I, and told him, ‘Just come to my house, bro, and just reset yourself. Think clearly without people pulling you in every way.’”
“He had already been on the road for over a month. He said he had to go home, and so I made him promise to call me if he needed to talk. And he did. And I never got a call.”
“We talked about everything the situation. I said, ‘Just come to my house, bro, and stay with me.’”
“I want to say this time he was a little different. I could tell he was different, so to try to cheer him up I invited him to come, we tried to cheer him up, joke around like we always do.”
Bryan Cranston pays tribute to RJ Mitte
“I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on 'Breaking Bad' has died. I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm. Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination"
“Always listening to the advice that his TV parents (Anna Gunn and myself) gave him – but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way… He was one of the stars of a hit TV show – but still a kid. That kid was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor. He parlayed his experience on the show to be a vocal advocate for performers with disabilities, and was the head of a philanthropic organization with a focus on helping the disabled community. All that promise and potential now is such a loss"
“It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life,” he wrote. “Why? We were texting each other just a few weeks ago – figuring out when we could meet for lunch. I don’t know if that lunch would have changed his future… But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on 'Breaking Bad' dimmed… I’ll miss you, son"

Oh my God! Was working just found out about RJ
I am heartbroken
Though RJ didn’t play my TV son, I always looked out for him as a young kid on set. He was a sweetheart of a young man and will be greatly missed. This is so heartbreaking, I can’t believe it. Thinking of him and his family.
💔💔💔💔💔💔
Siento que es el momento.

Me voy orgulloso por haber vivido mi sueño y por todas las personas que estuvieron a mi lado para hacerlo realidad.
Gracias fútbol por hacerme tan feliz. ❤️⚽️
