Character
Walter White Jr.
Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad (2008), played by RJ Mitte.
Walt Jr. is a high schooler with cerebral palsy navigating an ordinary teenage life—breakfast, school, crushes, a beloved uncle Hank—inside a family he doesn't yet know is falling apart. He's easygoing, funny, a little exasperated by his parents, and fiercely loyal to a father he still sees as steady and reliable.
RJ Mitte, who has cerebral palsy himself, plays Walt Jr. without a trace of the condition defining or limiting the character's presence—he's just a kid who wants breakfast and a car, not a symbol. That ordinariness becomes the show's quiet gut-punch: he's the family member with the least power and the most to lose.'
