You might not recognise the name but if you've watched Breaking Bad you'll know him.

Incredibly sad, and he was great in BB. Not aware of recent work, but getting cast given his disability must be incredibly hard in the spotlight of perfect Hollywood.

His upbringing wasn't easy either - cerebral palsy *and* having to look after his family from a young age.
He was raised by his mother following his parents' separation, splitting time between Lafayette, Louisiana, and Austin, Texas.[7][6] After his mother became paralyzed, Mitte assumed financial responsibility for his family at the age of 13, which by then also included his sister, Lacianne Carriere, who had been born when he was 11. As of 2015, he remained financially responsible for both his mother and sister.
His agent confirmed that his death was at his own hands, which is a proper shame as he seemed to be doing good work post Breaking Bad for Cerebral Palsy charities, his own charitable foundation etc.

RIP. He had a tough life. He also got screwed over by his own manager or accountant so he ended up in a huge debt and was pretty much paying that off for like a decade.
