Mitte rose to international fame through his role as the son of Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, in the hit television drama Breaking Bad.
His performance earned him recognition alongside his castmates, with the ensemble receiving a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2014, following the show’s final season.

In 2014, he received the SAG-AFTRA Howard Russell Award, an honour named after the first actor with a disability to win an Academy Award.
Mitte appeared in 56 episodes of Breaking Bad between 2008 and 2013. The Emmy-winning AMC series followed Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with a terminal illness who turned to manufacturing methamphetamine with his former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.
In addition to his work on the acclaimed series, Mitte appeared in productions including The Recall and The Guardians of Justice (Will Save You!).
His commitment to disability advocacy extended beyond the screen. He served as an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, supporting efforts to improve awareness and opportunities for people with disabilities.
His representative described him as a “beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate.”
Mitte also served as president of The Mitte Foundation, a family charity based in Austin, Texas, that provides funding and support to marginalised communities in South Texas. He was living in Brownsville at the time of his reported death.
The actor’s death comes about a year after he became engaged to his girlfriend, Kennedy Suarez, on her 30th birthday. Mitte proposed during the 56th annual Dia del Sol benefit in Carlsbad, California, in 2025. The fundraising event supports United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego.
