You will like it more or less, but it is undeniable that ‘Breaking Bad’ meant a before and after in the history of the series. Since then, a good handful of them were born trying to follow in their wake, although only a few did more than stay on the path. The impact was such that every time we see one of the leading actors in another product it is impossible not to think of Albuquerque, the hat and “I am the danger”: This is the case of RJ Mitte, who rose to fame as Walter Jr and whom many have lost track of.…but he’s so much more than a teenager craving breakfast. We ask ourselves now, what happened to RJ Mitte?
From extra to extraordinary
On August 21, 1992 (for saving your accounts: thirty years ago) Roy Frank Mitte III was born in Jackson, the capital of Mississippi. His birth was by emergency caesarean section, and when he came out he was not breathing, which ended up resulting in permanent brain damage. His biological parents put him up for adoption and ended up at the home of Roy Franke Mitte Jr and Dyna Mitte. They separated a few years later.
RJ learned to exercise at school to the point that he did not need more crutches or supports to be able to fend for himself. Her independence reached such a point that when she moved to Los Angeles with her family in 2006, she immediately began to look for papers with which to support her mother, who was paralyzed and could not help herself. herself. Of course, her time in Hollywood was a coincidence, because the one she was going to be an actress was his sister, Lacianne Carrierewho with only two years began to make appearances in series and movies.
Mitte started out as an extra in small commercials and series like ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ or ‘Hannah Montana’. He was just looking to make friends and meet people in his new town, but He ended up having a short romance with Miley Cyrus. After that he would want to eat the world, but there was still an extra twist to his life before fame. And it is that His next and brilliant role was in a small series by one Vince Gilligan: In 2008, RJ Mitte graduated as an extra and became one of the stars of ‘Breaking bad’.
is the danger
Needless to say, the catapult for his career was the series, which not only allowed him to save money, but also He also gave him a voice in the Screen Actors Guild, where he was chosen as the representative of the actors with disabilities. Furthermore, ever since helps disabled interpreters make their way in the world.
Of course, his career as an actor during the ten years that have passed since the end of ‘Breaking bad’ It has not returned to those levels, although it did have a lot of repercussions after it went through ‘Changed at birth’. She has appeared in a good handful of movies, but none have been significant. Titles like ‘Standing up for Sunny’, ‘The oak room’, ‘Triumph’ or ‘All the little things we kill’ have used her presence to get ahead, but they have not achieved success. He does not give up on his efforts: in the coming years He already has four other films pending. You never know when you might blow it up.
Where it has had the most impact is in its facet as a model. RJ Mitte signed with the well-known Elite Models agency, he was the star of a Gap campaign that led him to walk the catwalk all over the world and he was signed by different clothing brands: he is one of the fixtures at almost all fashion festivals, from Milan to New York. It is still curious that an actor who became known for walking on crutches never uses them in his day to day. In fact, from what he says, he had to learn how to use them for his role in ‘Breaking bad’ from scratch.
The return of Walt Jr?
mitte He has known how to carry out his career seriously and not letting himself be carried away by fame. His sister adores him, he’s embarked on a new branch as a producer (and executive producer), and yet the question remains hanging over his head: What about Walter Jr? Will we see Flynn on TV again? After not having a cameo in ‘Better call Saul’ or ‘El camino’, many would say that we have already seen the end, but he himself tries to give fans hope.
You never know! That story is there and it is not over. ‘Better call Saul’ finished its last season and ‘El camino’ was great, who knows? I love my character but they’ll probably wait until he’s forty to bring him back. I’ll be bald and walk around on a crutch, smoking a cigar and demanding to know where my breakfast is.
