‘Walter White Jr.’ actor is a touring DJ — and calls his sets ‘Breaking Beats’

When RJ Mitte was auditioning for the role of Walter "Flynn" White Jr., the son of Bryan Cranston's Walter White on "Breaking Bad," he couldn't believe how right he was for the part: the character breakdown called for "dark hair, big eyebrows, and CP" — cerebral palsy.

I used to dabble as a DJ when I was a kid, but never did it (seriously). I'm having a good time getting my sets together. - RJ Mitte

"I was like, I got the hair, I got the eyebrows and I got CP. Let's do this thing," says Mitte, now 22.

But the actor, who was diagnosed with the condition at age 3, almost didn't get the part because of how able he is.

"[As a child, doctors] tried to give me crutches or a wheelchair, but once you start using a device to be mobile, you rely on that device," says Mitte, who is coming to B.B. King on Friday as part of an international DJ tour. "[The show's producers] were a little hesitant [to cast me], because I didn't use crutches, and didn't have more of a slur."

Since "Breaking Bad" ended in 2013, Mitte has had a recurring role on ABC Family's "Switched at Birth" and appeared in several films, including the crime drama "Dixieland," which will screen at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival.

The always-busy Mitte's other endeavor is deejaying, and he'll spend April on his eight-city tour.

"I used to dabble as a DJ when I was a kid, but never did it [seriously]. I'm having a good time getting my sets together," he says.

Although Mitte has clearly moved on from "Breaking Bad," he hasn't left it behind — in fact, it'll be part of his EDM/rock/funk set, which is called "Breaking Beats."

"I'll be using a few of the songs from the show," he says. "There could be some blue rock candy involved as well. We'll see . . ."
