So so sad. I know it’s cliché, but you really never know what somebody is going through in their personal life. May he rest in peace. Very thankful for all of the joy he brought to all of our lives.

I watched an interview a few days ago where he explained what he thought happened to Walt Jr after the show ended and he painted a pretty bleak future for him, Holly, and Skylar. Aside for his explanation being logical, it makes me wonder if there was any projection from RJ in that interview. So fucking sad. Reach out to your friends and family, even if it seems like they’re doing good/okay.

My bad, I was cursed with words of death when someone in my class wanted an example for Disability Theatre, and I gave Walter Jr White and RJ, same time or just before he passed....
Joking aside, rest in peace RJ. I hate to see great people go like this when their talent and art is great....
Oh and I'm not kidding about the first part

That isnt the same thing. Studies show that when it comes to suicide even have one single person you can rely on and trust reduces numbers drastically. Obviously none of us could have helped rj here but the idea is that you should reach out to your friends more and genuinely try to be a good support for others as best you can. It really might make a difference

u/unofficialSperm 6h ago
It makes a diffrence to you, you can feel good Afterwards because you think you helped someone when in reality you Most Likely Just prolonged their suffering

Dont pretend you being depressed as shit means everyone going through it is helpless. News flash dude, I have also been depressed to the point of trying to kill myself and being forcibly hospitalized for it. But then guess what? Because of great support from my friends and family I went on to turn my life around, sobered up, got my masters, and have a great life. Nobody who didnt want me to kill myself prolonged my suffering. What a stupid fucking thing to say. Why dont you deal with your mental health properly instead of saying some dumb shit like this

As a disabled person, this guy was my hero and the reason I kept watching Season 1 the first time I watched the show. Finally, there was a disabled character that wasn't there to bait pity or be inspiration porn, but just a very well done representation of disability: a nor person living a normal life, only with a few handicaps on top. The scene where he tries to buy beer illegally and his friends tell him the clerk will not check his ID out of pity was so on point! His contribution to disability visibility in TV cannot be overstated. R.I.P. man, you were a real one!

u/ihavenoyukata 1h ago
I read somewhere that that people were mocking his disability after he appeared on a couple of podcasts recently. Genuinely sad but not surprised that it happens in this day and age and across countries/cultures. There is no genuine pushback against this.

Agreed. We spend a lot of time with these actors, it’s genuinely sad. I know we don’t know them personally, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt and feel strange.

Not really. Sopranos is a good example, half of the actors there are dead now.
Either way, rest in peace RJ Mitte

u/Green_Eyed_Jerk_ 7h ago
I’ll feel for him, appreciate him, and be sad he’s since passed away from struggling with something so profound. I don’t mean to say watching his performance itself would at all change for me. I gotta be honest, kinda feel odd having to expand on that. Just a bummer.

I believe they bribed the Morgue to get an autopsy report, and probably did the same to get the info from the Sheriff’s office.
