RJ Mitte, the actor best known for portraying Walter White Jr. on the acclaimed AMC series Breaking Bad, has died at the age of 34.

Mitte died Monday in Brownsville, Texas. His representatives confirmed his death in a statement, remembering him as an actor, philanthropist and passionate disability rights advocate. A cause of death has not been officially announced.

Mitte became widely known for his role as Walter White Jr., also known as Flynn, the son of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White on Breaking Bad. He appeared throughout all five seasons of the series from 2008 through 2013 and became an important part of one of television’s most celebrated ensembles.

Like his character, Mitte lived with cerebral palsy. He drew from his own experiences for the role and later became an outspoken advocate for greater representation and opportunities for people with disabilities in Hollywood.

Mitte also worked extensively with organizations supporting people with disabilities, including United Cerebral Palsy and Shriners Children’s, and served as president of The Mitte Foundation.

His representatives described him as a powerful voice for inclusion whose influence reached well beyond his work on screen.

RJ Mitte was 34.

Jeremy Allen White is ready to step into the shoes of legendary actor Gene Wilder, he just needs someone to make the call.

The Bear star recently addressed the possibility of portraying Wilder in an upcoming biopic after fans pointed out the striking resemblance between the two actors.

During an appearance on TODAY, White was asked whether he would be interested in taking on the role.

“Absolutely, it would be my honour,”

White said.

White went on to reveal his longtime admiration for Wilder and some of his most iconic films.

“Young Frankenstein is one of my earliest film memories. Blazing Saddles, he’s a genius. It would be an honor. He was a genius. It would be an honor. Yeah, I love him. I’ve always loved him.”

Despite his enthusiasm, White confirmed that he has not been cast in the project. When asked whether the role was already his, the actor quickly responded, “No! No, no, no,” before adding, “We’ll see, we’re manifesting it.”

A Gene Wilder biopic was announced earlier this year, with filmmaker Dito Montiel attached to direct. The project has the cooperation of Wilder’s estate, though casting has yet to be announced.

Wilder remains one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedic performers, starring in classics including Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and The Producers. He died in 2016 at the age of 83 following complications from Alzheimer’s disease.

With White openly interested and fans already making comparisons between the two actors, the upcoming biopic may have just found its most obvious candidate, even if the phone hasn’t rung yet.

Paranormal Activity is going back to where the nightmare began.

The upcoming eighth installment in the found-footage horror franchise will return to the same house featured in the original Paranormal Activity, bringing the series back to one of the most recognizable locations in modern horror.

The news was revealed during Blumhouse’s BlumFest presentation at New York Comic Con.

The original film, written and directed by Oren Peli, was famously shot inside Peli’s own home on a budget of approximately $15,000. The stripped-down production turned ordinary bedrooms, hallways and nighttime surveillance footage into something terrifying and helped launch one of horror’s biggest modern franchises.

The new film will be directed by Ian Tuason, who made his feature directorial debut with undertone. James Wan and Jason Blum are producing through Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, while Peli returns as a producer through Solana Films.

The announced cast includes Chase Yi, Sonia Mena and Maya da Costa.

Exactly how the original house factors into the story remains unknown. No official plot details have been revealed, and it has not been confirmed whether the new movie will directly reconnect with Katie and Micah or introduce an entirely new group of characters.

The return to the original location, however, gives the upcoming movie a major connection to the film that started it all.

Released theatrically in 2009, Paranormal Activity became a massive success, earning nearly $200 million worldwide and launching a franchise that has since expanded across seven films.

The most recent installment, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, debuted on Paramount+ in 2021. The new movie will bring the franchise back to theaters.

The untitled eighth Paranormal Activity movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 21, 2027.
