Actor RJ Mitte rose to fame at the age of 14 when he was cast as Walter White Jr in cult series Breaking Bad. He has cerebral palsy and was bullied when he was younger because of his disability. "I had my hand broken, my foot broken, I was slammed on the ground," he says.

Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 3; after his diagnosis, doctors put his legs in casts for 6 months to straighten his feet. He used leg braces and crutches for most of his childhood until his body became strong enough to walk without them.

' And it took off from there,” Mitte said about his decision to start auditioning for roles. After appearing in background parts in shows such as “Hannah Montana” and “Grey's Anatomy,” he was given the chance to audition for the character of Walter Jr. on “Breaking Bad,” which ultimately brought him success.

RJ Mitte was diagnosed with a mild form of cerebral palsy as a toddler. His character, Walter Jr., in Breaking Bad, also has cerebral palsy, but uses crutches and has a partial speech impairment, which RJ doesn't.
