\u201cThere’s definitely a lot of family dynamics when you work with a group so closely for so many years,\u201d he said on the Cassius Morris Official<\/a> podcast in 2021. \u201cYou do have that family dynamic part and that respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Mitte added, \u201cI respect them as much as I respect my mom and my father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just as \u201cunbelieveable\u201d to him, though, was how much Breaking Bad was embraced by audiences.<\/p>\n

“It’s truly life-changing,” he said on the Oct. 5 episode of The Joe Vulpis Podcast<\/a> about being part of the show\u2019s legacy. “Back then, we really didn’t realize how impactful the show was going to be.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after Mitte\u2019s death, his other costar Aaron Paul reacted to the tragic news.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am at a loss,” Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> in an Oct. 12 statement. “I am heartbroken over this news. RJ, I love you my friend. You will be missed. And to whoever happens to be reading this, please know you are loved, and you are not alone. Always remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his onscreen uncle Dean Norris wrote on X<\/a>, \u201cThough RJ didn\u2019t play my TV son, I always looked out for him as a young kid on set,” he continued. “He was a sweetheart of a young man and will be greatly missed. This is so heartbreaking, I can\u2019t believe it. Thinking of him and his family.”<\/p>\n
