RJ Mitte co-starred on the Emmy-winning AMC drama, Breaking Bad, as the son of the cancer-stricken high school science teacher turned drug manufacturer played by Bryan Cranston.  Just as his character on the show, Walter White, Jr., has cerebral palsy so does Mitte, although Mitte’s is a milder form of the disability.  Mitte is involved with several organizations that raise awareness of equality and diversity. He is the Youth Spokesperson for the National Disability Institute’s Real Economic Impact Tour, which works to improve the financial situation of low-income persons with disabilities.   He is a spokesperson for “I AM PWD,” the tri-union campaign (SAG, AFTRA & Actors’ Equity) which advocates for actors with disabilities, and for "Beyond Diversity -- the future is now."  As a guest speaker at high schools, colleges, and universities around the country, Mitte openly talks about the ways he has overcome obstacles and how he has achieved his goals.  Mitte spent much of his childhood in both Austin, TX and Lafayette, LA where he learned to deal with and overcome many of the challenges presented by his cerebral palsy.
