His Breaking Bad co-stars Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston, and Dean Norris all paid tribute. Cranston called Mitte \u201ca fine actor\u201d and \u201csweet.\u201d Norris called him \u201ca sweetheart.\u201d Paul urged people to support anyone<\/strong> who’s struggling, after earlier coverage noted that he had reposted one of Mitte\u2019s mental health awareness videos on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Anyone who knew Mitte as more than Walter \u201cFlynn\u201d White Jr. on Breaking Bad also knew how much of his life he gave to disability advocacy<\/strong>. He had cerebral palsy and worked with United Cerebral Palsy, Shriners Children\u2019s, and SAG to press for accessibility, authentic casting, and better representation in film, TV, and major roles.<\/p>\n\n

His death has brought fresh attention<\/strong> to mental health pressures in Hollywood, along with the challenges that can affect people with cerebral palsy, especially after recent interviews where he spoke about work, the future, and mortality. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988, or seek local emergency support.<\/p>\n
