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 ❤️

I can't believe this

This guy was underrated as an actor. Something that really stuck out to me on my rewatch was the talking pillow scene.

He's sitting there acting his ass off, holding his own with Dean Norris, Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn. At the age of 16! His inexperience could have stuck out but nope, not at all, he hung with them the whole way. That's a feat at 16.

He also sounded like a hilarious guy, if you ever listened to the commentary tracks. Sounded genuinely fun to be around

RIP RJ

Man the scene wheres hes protecting skylar from Walter and calls the police genuinely made my 36 year old male arse well up. He did a brilliant job.
