Aaron Paul pens an emotional tribute to RJ Mitte after his "Breaking Bad" co-star's death: "I am so sorry you were hurting my friend. I wish we knew. You constantly had a smile on your face and you took every single challenge that was given to you with such confidence and grace. I met you when you were a little boy and watched you grow into a beautiful young man. Taking on every challenge head on. The last time we saw each other I kept calling you Superman. You reminded me of him. You reminded me of him because you always led with kindness and strength. You were born into a world with challenges but you never let any of that stand in your way. I’m so sorry RJ. What an absolute tragic loss… I loved your laugh and how much fun you had riding the wave we were all blessed to be on with ‘Breaking Bad.’ I hope whoever is reading this note that feels lost or sad or uncertain about the future please say something. Life is so damn special." variety.com/2026/tv/news/aar…
