"Breaking Bad's" Dean Norris, Anna Gunn, Morena RJ: "We are all shocked and in deep despair"

The cast of the hugely successful series remember the actor who played Walter White Jr., who died by suicide at age 34.

Breaking Bad co-star Dean Norris and Emmy winner Anna Gunn have opened up about the death of their former co-star R.J. Mitt, who died this week at the age of 34 due to suicide.

Mitt died Monday in Brownsville, Texas. His representative confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the actor died by suicide. Mitte is best known for his role as Walter "Flynn" White Jr. on Breaking Bad.

Norris, who played Hank Schrader on the AMC drama, spoke to TalkShopLive during a pre-scheduled live broadcast after the news of Mayte's death broke. He was on the show to promote signed copies of his upcoming book, Do What You're Gonna Do: The Definitive Oral History of Breaking Bad, which will be released on November 17.

R.J. Mitte's longtime manager says he is "in complete shock, completely devastated and struggling" following the actor's suicide.

R.J. Mitte said he hopes to revive the "Breaking Bad" character in the final podcast.

"We had a tragedy in the Breaking Bad family," Norris said. "Unbelievable, unbelievable. Heartbreaking. Rest in peace, RJ. Sweet, sweet boy, I will miss you so much. Thank you for your prayers, we appreciate it. Feeling a little blue. Our sweet boy, R.J."

Later in the interview, Norris spoke again about Mitt, who had cerebral palsy, and encouraged anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts to seek help.

"This is a tragedy with R.J. We are all shocked and deeply disappointed," he said. "I loved that kid and I'm going to miss him. Life goes on. Please, please, if you need help, or if you know someone who needs help, talk to someone. There are suicide hotlines. All kinds of things. So please, please, please know that you can talk to someone, okay?"

While discussing the show, which ended in 2013 after a five-season run but gained a huge following, Norris said he's still in talks with fellow cast members Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, who he said will be at Comic-Con. "We will hug each other because of this great tragedy that happened," he said in this mini-link.

Norris also told viewers when he last saw Mete.

“It was literally about three weeks ago. At a fan fair, at the signing convention. Who knew that this would be the last time I would see him. Rest in peace, RJ."

Asked by an audience member how she was doing, Norris said: "I'm a little sad right now, I'm very sad right now, I'm doing it. But put one foot in front of the other." He added that losing Mitte "will forever change the dynamic of our cast."

“With R.J. "This will change our situation forever," Norris said. Rest in peace, RJ. And we are sorry."

Norris said she is set to appear on the famous Wheel of Fortune this week and plans to donate to a charity that deals with suicide and “dedicate my book tour to R.J., because it's such a tragedy. I don't want you to bring everyone down."

"Rest in peace, RJ. And I wish you all nothing but peace and well for you all out there." "Cherish the ones you love and you never know if it's the last time you'll see them," he concluded.

Gunn, who played Mayte's on-screen mother Skyler White, released a statement on Wednesday about Mayte's death. Meet R.J. When he was just 14, the actor said, "I was immediately struck by the depth and complexity of someone so young. He was gentle and bold, incredibly kind and wickedly funny, a bit rebellious (like any other teenager) yet eager to learn and hone his craft. "Most importantly, he was fiercely determined that his disability would not hold him back, but rather give him the opportunity to enlighten and educate others through his true, bare-bones portrayal of Walt Flynn Jr."

"How lucky we were to have R.J. come into the Breaking Bad family and light up our lives. How lucky I was to play her TV mom, to see her evolve and grow as an actress and a person over the seasons, and for all the years to come as she continues to serve her community with tireless advocacy and philanthropy. I was so proud of her," added Gunn, adding that we all were.

"There really are no words to express the heartbreak of a loss this profound, the loss of a beautiful young man who had such an impact on this world and has so much more to come," she continued. "What I choose to remember and cherish today are the quiet and personal moments I shared with my beloved TV boy. Moments of mutual support and understanding, of belly-aching laughter and silliness, of care and deep love. You will live forever in my heart my dearest R.J.
