Breaking Bad - Interview with RJ Mitte

Thanks to our good friend Pani from http://breakingbad-greek.blogspot.com/ for send this to us.

Breaking Bad's youngest regular cast member talks about his father (on-screen), his first role on his career and much more in Breakingbadgreek.blogspot.com's exclusive interview!

Q : Walter Junior is the only member of the White family who doesn't break bad yet. What do you believe this is due to?
A : LOL...maybe he has already broke-bad and the audience doesn't know yet. Honestly I think teenagers go through a lot of challenges. And Walt Jr., has taken his father's illness seriously and feels a kind of responsibility.

Q :When casting was searching for an actor to play Walt Jr., were they looking for someone that was physically challenged to fill that role?
A : The casting experience was one of my first in Hollywood. I had heard from my manager that casting was looking for an actor with cerebral palsy to audition for the role of Walt Jr. After I was cast to play the character I learned that both able bodied and actors with disabilities were considered. However the writer/creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan had a very close friend in college with cerebral palsy and he wanted to acknowledge the memory of his friend. I think selecting an actor with cerebral palsy is the most authentic read for Breaking Bad.

Q : Since your role in Breaking Bad is the first of your career. What is it like working with an actor like Bryan Cranston? Walter keeps going to a dark path that he doesn't know if there is a comeback, what do you think about the transformation of Walter White on Breaking Bad?
A : When I moved to Hollywood I knew very little about acting and show business. A year later I was cast in a TV series that listed some of the best actors in town as cast mates. I had no idea I would get to work with actors of this caliber after starting out so quickly. Without a doubt Bryan Cranston is one of the finest actors in town. I learn something more about my craft each time I get to work with him. Most of my scenes are with Bryan Cranston. I hope in some way that the interaction between a father and son is one of the moments in his life that reflects a bright spot. Seeing the character, Walter White's transformation is most like any family member when we live up close. Whether personal changes are subtle or jarring, a family member is someone we love and trust. We go with them because we are living in the moment. We most see the drama of change when we reflect back.
