RJ Mitte’s ‘Breaking Bad’ co-stars attend late actor’s celebration of life in Hollywood

“Breaking Bad” co-stars, friends and family gathered in Hollywood on Saturday to honour actor RJ Mitte at a celebration of life. The ceremony brought together several cast members to remember Mitte, whose role as Walter White’s son helped make him widely known and whose advocacy focused on disability awareness and inclusion.

Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks and Raymond Cruz attended the service at Hope Lutheran Church, followed by a reception in Hollywood. Mitte died by suicide in Texas on 12 October, aged 34; he had cerebral palsy and played Walter “Flynn” White Jr. across all five seasons of “Breaking Bad”, from 2008 to 2013. Cranston later wrote that he had been texting Mitte weeks before his death and wondered whether a planned lunch might have changed his future.
