RJ Mitte was still out and about shortly before his death.

Less than two weeks before his rep confirmed he died at age 34, the Breaking Bad actor made a public appearance in Los Angeles to celebrate one of his latest films. 

Mitte stepped out in Beverly Hills on Sept. 30 for a screening of his 2026 movie Talking To Strangers, sporting a grey suit and abstract purple dress shirt for the event. 

Mitte starred as Joshua alongside costar Lin Yin as Marty in the film, whose synopsis on IMDb reads, “A rigid loner with cerebral palsy and a vibrant force of nature form an unlikely friendship over lunch—until she asks him for the unthinkable.”

Indeed, the actor—whose cause of death has not been confirmed—was diagnosed at age 3 with cerebral palsy, which affects posture and mobility, according to the CDC. And although he worked in therapy to manage his symptoms, he challenged himself as a teenager to “regress” onscreen to accurately portray the character Walt White Jr. in Breaking Bad from 2008 to 2013.
