he had like 800 breakfast in 62 episodes. That would change my life too

[RaeuberFotzenRotz]

He played his character so good nobody can eat breakfast as good as he did. Seemed so natural

[strboys]

The actor of hank has the same personality as his character

[juliannedispain]

He played the character so well. I cried during the scene when he was protecting his mother and realized what his dad had done.

[TheEeefs]

Amazing. He still refuses to break character after all this time. The dedication.

[mikepow]

Wow this guy didn't let his disability stop him for being a good actor

[existential_sad_boi]

Walt Jr.'s character is a perfect example of what inclusiveness in media should be.

[senatorpalpabean]

I absolutely adore RJ. He's such a good actor, and the fact alone that Walt Jr. is played by an actual person with cerebral palsy and not someone attempting to mimic the visible features of it, is so great. Plus, RJ is such an icon and I love him

[smokepepsi]

Hank seems like he really is Hank. Idek

[CamiloSanchez]

It's awesome Vince gave this kid a chance. He was great

[userunknown]

Walter Jr. is probably the most (and only) innocent person on this show

[elladrawswell]

He not only landed a major part with a disability, but a major part on one of the most acclaimed and well-written TV shows out there. That's quite the achievement.

[dun]

I swear I thought his disability was an act all along

[noone]

Walter Jr was actually the only character that Jessie pinkman didn't meet in the show

[shaunacarroll]

I love RJ Mitte, he's got cerebral palsy like me so I love being represented in media

[kevinb]

Never gonna get over the fact that he based his movement and speech patterns as Walter Jr. off of Jimmy fucking Valmer from South Park. Reality is always grander than fiction.

[mudy]

Walt jr. Is Walter whites son
Jesse is Heisenberg's son.

[eazye]

Man Walt jr is the luckiest man on earth his father is rich and he eats breakfast for a living

[rustykuntz]

There was no more sympathetic character on BB then Jr. I almost cried several times seeing how much he loved his Father and much he always manipulated him time and time again and that heartbreak in the final episodes when he finally found out the truth about Walt.

[peterliter]

the scene that always stands out SUPER MEMORABLE in my head for rj is the scene of walt where hes all beat up and crying and jr is with him crying as well walt says “i dont want you to remember me like this” and then later junior says “remembering you like that wouldnt be so bad, you were real” man i love that scene between those 2 so much its incredible.
