Just weeks before his death, RJ Mitte spoke about his role in Breaking Bad. The actor made an appearance on The Joe Vulpis Podcast just a week ago and spoke of his “most complicated” scene on the show.
The American show followed high school teacher Walter White as he was diagnosed with stage-three lung cancer, before producing and selling methamphetamine to pay for his treatment and leave behind money for his family.
RJ played Walter’s son. Reflecting on a difficult scene, he recalled Walter’s final call with his dad, during which RJ said he felt “a lot of pressure”. He said: “I really think for me one of the most complicated scenes that I’ve had to do was that final phone call.
“It’s the last time he talks to him. In reality, I didn’t understand it as much as I do now. But I still had a lot of pressure and felt a lot of pressure in trying to make sure that was right. And where it set, and the tones, and the confusion, and the different levels of that. Because he’s now hearing this in his school. He’s hearing it from people. He’s been stained by this reputation of Heisenberg. And it’s like, I don’t know who Heisenberg is. Wait, that’s my dad. That’s my father, and he killed my uncle. Like he’s a murderer.
“And so that realisation for him was something that I really wanted to make sure that I met those criteria. And you know, listening to the directors, listening to Vince [Gilligan], and really Bryan [Cranston] was there that day as well. He was in the room when we did that scene. So really kind of figuring out how to do that scene justice.”
