RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

Can you imagine being a 15 year old actor shooting the first season of a TV show, and your scene partner is Bryan effin Cranston?  Mad respect to a young actor holding their own on that set.

RIP RJ

At that point, though, wasn’t Bryan Cranston mainly just known as Malcolm’s goofy dad? Not quite the legend everyone sees him as today.

He did some videos with former costars. I think that would be a dream for a young star. The way he continues to have such wholesome relationships with the former kids of his shows and the way they talk about him being a genuine coach and supporter of theirs is just so awesome
