The Post Gazette has a great article about actor RJ Mitte and how his perfect role came along and quickly.
After moving to Los Angles, CA, enrolling in acting school and doing a few background roles (including one on Hannah Montana), his perfect role came along and he couldn’t have been happier.
On reading the Breaking Bad script: “It was a phenomenal script,” R.J. recalled of his initial reaction to the show. “My character has a disability, but that’s not his crutch. He has a life like everyone else, and he’s just trying to get through it.”
