RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. on “Breaking Bad,” has died. He was 34.

A representative for Mitte confirmed the news to Variety. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Mitte starred as the son of Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn’s characters on the Vince Gilligan drama, which is considered one of the greatest television shows of all time. Like his “Breaking Bad” character Walt Jr., Mitte had cerebral palsy. His high-profile performance brought awareness to the condition, and throughout his acting career, he was an advocate for disability representation in Hollywood.
