'Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte Joins 'Switched At Birth'

RJ Mitte is headed to ABC Family!

The 21-year-old actor has joined the upcoming season of the hit series as Campbell, a pre-med college student paralyzed by a snowboarding accident who works in the free clinic with Daphne (Katie LeClerc).

Creator and exec producer Lizzy Weiss shared in a statement, “We are thrilled to cast such a phenomenal and unique actor as RJ. Our show is about diversity and telling stories about people from all walks of life, and when we created the part of Campbell, we knew RJ was the perfect person to embody him. The character is charismatic, funny, and a bit of a ladies’ man, and we think Breaking Bad fans will enjoy seeing Walt, Jr. in a totally different light.”

RJ added, “I love Switched at Birth, it’s super exciting to work with such an awesome cast.”

Switched at Birth returns in January.
