He was only 34. He played Walter White Junior in Breaking Bad. So young. A fantastic actor and did so much to support people with disabilities in getting into the film industry. What a sad loss.

Just saw this. Very sad. He played Walter Jr. - Flynn - so well.
So young, too 😔

Devastating news. I’m hearing that it was suicide, although not confirmed yet

I was seeing that too but nothing confirmed. I hope not. He played his role in BB so brilliantly.

It’s very sad. He was an amazing actor and just too young to die 🙏

So sad, I remember him well from BB and presenting the Paralympics (I think). I heard suicide too, which is really shocking. He only got engaged last year.

Heartbreaking. He was a brilliant advocate for CP, and gave alot of his time to charity.

A wonderful programme which I binge watched during the first lockdown. He was excellent in it. Very talented.

Very sad news.

Rest in peace RJ. I’m so sorry you felt this way.

He was also an adoptee, we are 37 times for likely to end our lives according to the latest study. Add on his disability & coping with the cut throat Hollywood business unfortunately it’s not a surprise he chose this. Bless him.
