Hollywood is honoring RJ Mitte‘s life and legacy.
After the Breaking Bad actor and philanthropist’s rep confirmed his passing Oct. 12, fans, friends and fellow stars, including costar Aaron Paul, mourned his death.
“I am at a loss,” Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “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.”
Meanwhile, costar Dean Norris—who played his uncle, Hank Schrader, on Breaking Bad—wrote on X, “Oh my God! Was working just found out about RJ. I am heartbroken.”
“Though RJ didn’t 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’t believe it. Thinking of him and his family.”
