RJ Mitte Speaks About Turning A Disability Into An Ability

RJ Mitte shows off his charming smile as he leaves the Huffington Post Live offices in New York City on Friday afternoon (March 20).

Recently speaking with Wonderland magazine, the 22-year-old actor opened up about being the voice for disabled actors and advising handicapped children about their career options.

“It’s really about learning to take the responsibility that most [disabled] people wouldn’t take on,” RJ shared. “To have so much responsibility at such a young age, when most people would try to relinquish responsibility… I was not fond of relinquishing mine. I didn’t back down.”

He added, “I want to show people that yes, I speak for myself. Turning a disability into an ability… Yes I was bullied at school, but can speak about a lot of topics.”
