RJ Mitte’s one wish before his death that he wanted included in his will revealed in resurfaced interview

Actor RJ Mitte, who gained international stardom playing the role of Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad, has died by suicide at the age of 34. Mitte had cerebral palsy and was not only famous for his acting on television but was also an advocate for better representation of disabled people. In the wake of his untimely demise on October 12, 2026, an old interview has given a hint into the importance he gave to his time spent in the popular AMC series.

In an interview with The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Mitte revealed the things he kept from Breaking Bad and told what he wanted his family to do with those things after his death.

“I tell my family, it’s gonna be in my will, no one’s allowed to sell my stuff, even after I’m dead,” Mitte said during the interview.


He continued: “I’m already putting it in there. It’s gonna be like a little museum. It’s like it’s all yours. I’m not here, it’s all yours.”

The actor mentioned several mementos, namely a Heisenberg cap, his own clothes, underwear and crutches. The latter were especially valuable for him in comparison to other items kept by him as relics from the show, which was on air during five years from 2008 to 2013.

“Well, really, the only thing I truly wanted after the show was my crutches,” said Mitte.

Why the crutches held special meaning for Mitte

Mitte portrayed Walter White Jr., also known as Flynn, the son of Bryan Cranston’s character, Walter White. His character had cerebral palsy, a condition Mitte also lived with in real life.

The actor’s casting brought a degree of lived experience to the role, helping challenge assumptions about disability on mainstream television.

“I use these crutches for seven years straight. Like, that. I was on those crutches for seven years. And like, they, they, they just. I had a hard time. Like, like when they were like, I, I thought about giving them, you know, I thought about, like. Yeah. And then I was like, I was like, man, I rather have them with me,” mentioned Mitte highlighting the importance of his crutches on the show.

His work after Breaking Bad included appearances in Switched at Birth, The Oak Room, Triumph and The Guardians of Justice.

Mitte also advocated on issues other than acting. He lent support to groups working on disability issues and leveraged his fame to foster the presentation of more realistic disabled actors in entertainment.
