RJ Mitte: I wouldn't be here without my disability

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

RJ Mitte, the actor who played Walter Junior in the award winning TV series Breaking Bad told 5 live's Afternoon Edition that he "would never have imagined his life would be what it is now... What would the odds be of being given this opportunity? It just kept evolving. We had real people who really cared about the work and the honesty and the truth that was in all the characters." RJ, who is appearing at the Edinburgh TV Festival to talk about disability on screen admitted that he wouldn't have secured the role as Walter White's son if it hadn't have been for his cerebral palsy, "I wouldn't be here without my disability. I would have been another face in the crowd that just blended in." RJ is part of Channel 4's Rio 2016 Paralympics commentary team. Coverage starts on the 7th September.
