That was unexpected. He was so young, too. RIP.

RIP to an actor who was not defined by his disability in the show, but also at age 16 managed to hold his own against veteran actors dean norris, bryan cranston, aaron paul, and betsy brandt.

> best known for his role as Walter "Flynn" White Jr in case anyone was wondering (like me)

He died by suicide. A reminder to everyone here: Even when you can’t see a way forward, one can still emerge. Stay. Reach out. You don’t have to face the darkest moments alone.

Incredibly sad. Great actor and sounds like he was a great person. Gone way too soon

Lived in Brownsville for a bit and got to know him towards the end of my stint there. Very nice guy his family does a lot for the arts in the city. He will be incredibly missed.

Nooo what a tragedy

I am of course familiar with him from Breaking Bad. I accidentally stumbled across him participating in the (awful) series by Bear Grylls The Island. He did a celebrity survival challenge. Totally wasn't expecting to see him on a 2AM YouTube binge after years of not seeing him at all.
