RJ Mitte

RJ Mitte stands out as one of the first actors with visible cerebral palsy to hold a regular role on a prestige drama. His five seasons on Breaking Bad helped shift conversations about casting disabled performers in stories that go beyond their diagnosis. He turned that platform into real advocacy work that reaches thousands of young people each year through speaking events and campaigns.His committee role at SAG-AFTRA gives him a direct voice in union policies that affect performers with disabilities nationwide. The combination of on-screen visibility and off-screen activism sets him apart from many actors his age. Fans and advocates point to his refusal to be defined solely by his disability as a model for the next generation of talent.
