pushed for greater inclusion, including0:15opportunities for performers.0:17His next film is scheduled to reach theaters just four days after his death.0:21His representative says he died by suicide, while authorities still have to0:25determine the official cause and manner.0:26Mitty brought his own experience with cerebral palsy to the role that made him0:30familiar to audiences worldwide.0:32Born Roy Frank Mitty III in August 1992, he was diagnosed with the condition at age0:373.0:38Brownsville police found Mitty already dead when officers responded to an emergency0:42call

role in a widely watched series.1:52Creator Vince Gilligan sought a young actor who actually had cerebral palsy.1:56Midi's character had the condition too, and Mitty drew on his own experience.2:01That casting choice connected the performance to the life of the person playing it.2:04Brian Cranston, who played his father, remembered meeting Midi when he was 14 and2:09had been cast.2:10Filming on the pilot began in February 2007.2:13Cranston recalled a performer who was initially inexperienced and gradually grew2:17into a fine actor.2:18Mitty became an ambassador for United

connecting his public work2:32directly to the industry where he'd built his career.2:34He also served as president of the Mitty Foundation, supporting philanthropy and2:38community initiatives.2:40His grandparents, Roy F.2:41Mitty and Joanne Cole Mitty, founded it in 1994.2:45Mitty later led that family organization and carried its work alongside his acting.2:49His representatives described the connection in their announcement.2:52Drawing from his own experience living with cerebral palsy, Mitty brought2:56authenticity to the role and built a platform on disability awareness and inclusion.3:00Cranston and Mitty were still making plans to see each other.3:04Cranston wrote, We were texting each other just a few weeks ago, figuring out when3:08we could meet for lunch.3:09Their friendship had continued long after Breaking Bad ended.3:12Cranston called Mitty my sweet son on Breaking Bad and wrote that he was in deep3:16despair.3:17He remembered both his growth as an actor and his advocacy for disabled performers.3:22His remembrance ended.3:23I'll miss you, son.3:24Aaron Paul wrote, I'm at a loss.3:26I am heartbroken over this news.3:28RJ, I love you, my friend.3:30You will be missed.3:31He also told those reading his statement that they were loved and weren't alone.3:35Dean Norris also paid public tribute.3:37Cranston pointed readers toward the 988 Suicide and Crisis lifeline.3:41Midi attended a screening of talking to strangers at the Fine Arts Theater in3:44Beverly Hills on September 30th.3:46Photographs documented the appearance.3:48He had recently promoted the
