00:11Mitty was known probably most well for his role as playing Walter White Jr.
00:17in the hit Emmy-winning series Breaking Bad,
00:21widely considered to be one of the best television shows of all time.
00:25Mitty played Walter White Jr., who was the son of the infamous crime lord Walter White,
00:31who was the meth dealer.
00:32And then you have this from the New York Post saying Breaking Bad star R.J. Mitty has died.
00:38He was 34 years old.
00:39The cause of death has not been released.
00:42This is a developing story that we're just hearing.
00:44But this was an iconic character that he played that was beloved by so many fans across the world.
00:51He had cerebral palsy in real life, and he played that in his show.
00:54And he was actually a part of a PSA not too long ago, too, where he talked about it was
01:01a PSA for people with disabilities.
01:02And he talked about how he was a film and television actor, and he didn't let his disability define him.
01:08And it was a very powerful PSA where he was with other people who had different disabilities.
01:12They talked about it and talked about how they still have careers and are thriving in life.
01:18And he was very confident in that PSA talking about his disability and everything that came with it.

01:42And I'm checking this right now, too, here on his filmography.

01:50And I'll pull it up here.
01:52Yes, he was outside of the performance.
01:53Okay, so he didn't have the individual nomination, but three times, four times, yeah, three times, I should say, Breaking
02:00Bad was nominated for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series with the ensemble winning in 2014, which was the show's
02:07last season.
02:08And, of course, the show eventually won Best Series at the Emmy Awards later on, I believe, in their last
02:15season, too.
