Ryan DayHostCodyGuestMike TurekGuestTMZ is reporting it as a suicide, uh, and his representatives have confirmed it was a suicide as well.
He worked with United Cerebral Palsy and Shriner's Children's, as well as his own charity, the Mitte Foundation.
He said, "RJ Mitte, my sweet son on Breaking Bad, has died." He said, "I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part that he played with such joy and enthusiasm." Uh, he said that, "He was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor." Uh, he said that, "It's especially devastating to hear that he took his own life." And then he said, "Why?" He said that he and RJ were texting a few weeks ago and tried to plan lunch.
He said, "I don't know if that lunch would've changed his future, but I do know that I loved him and I thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed." He concluded his post by writing, "I'll miss you, son." Apparently RJ went on a podcast a couple of weeks ago and talked about his experience on Breaking Bad.
Also mentioned that he had an accountant that mismanaged a bunch of his money, and so he did not have, uh, a lot of money left.
Also was struggling to get some acting roles, uh, which is just really sad, and it seems like a story that is just way too common-
... with younger actors and, I mean, even with, with older actors, when somebody takes advantage of them and is mismanaging their money.
Well, uh, listen, I just went through, uh, something where I have a, an older relative who lost her husband, and so now she's trying to take over all of the, the finances, and things that she doesn't really know about and hasn't really dealt with before.
Somebody suggested she go to this financial advisor, and she goes, and she's like, well, this person needs, like, all of the passwords and all...
A- a- and I'm sure that 99% of these people are up and up and good people and take care of their clients, but when you give every element of your financial life to somebody, you are completely at the mercy of whether they're a decent person or not.
I don't know what kind of money he made when he was making Breaking Bad, but it ought to have been enough that it would've lasted him for a long time.
