Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte is seen in a video with one of his co-stars from the hit AMC show just days before his tragic death at the age of 34 on Monday (October 12).
Luis Moncada, who played axe-wielding cartel enforcer Marco Salamanca on the hit show, posted a video of himself with Mitte enjoying a ride at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta on October 4.
Hour after the announcement of Mitte’s death in Brownsville, Texas, Moncada reposted the video along with photographs from years of friendship with Mitte, with the caption “Rest in Peace RJ - I Love you Lil Brother.”
Mitte, who had cerebral palsy and worked as a disability rights activist, rose to fame as a teenager playing Walter White Jr. alongside Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn in the show that was recently named best television show of the century by The New York Times.
