Breaking Down Barriers for Disabled Actors


Listen Later

RJ Mitte shot to fame at the age of 13 when he landed the role of Bryan Cranston’s son, Walt Jr., on the hit show Breaking Bad. Like his character, RJ also has cerebral palsy, which he was diagnosed with at the age of 3. Since Breaking Bad ended in 2013, RJ has carved out a unique path for himself in Hollywood. He’s modeled for the Gap, presented at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, and most recently starred in the feature film Triumph, about a disabled high school senior who strives to be a wrestler. 

Listen as RJ openly discusses his own experiences as an actor with cerebral palsy, the impact Walt Jr. had on society, and fighting for more disability inclusion in Hollywood.
