‘Breaking Bad’ star RJ Mitte dead at 34: See actor's 2017 interview about living with a disability
Page Six has paired its report of RJ Mitte's death with an older conversation in the actor's own words. The archival interview centers on living with a disability and the kinds of roles he would put himself forward to play.
The outlet says Mitte's representative confirmed his death in a statement. Its description also cites TMZ's reporting and says the death investigation is ongoing.
The interview excerpt drew more than 50,000 views well before its first day was over, far beyond the few thousand a Page Six Short typically receives across a full day. It also drew a larger audience than the outlet's separate death announcement.
That distinction gives this upload a different focus: rather than recounting the news alone, Page Six returns to Mitte discussing his life and work at BUILD Series London in 2017.
