ORLANDO, Fla. – The actor behind Walter White Jr. from Breaking Bad, RJ Mitte, will be back in Central Florida this weekend to host the United Cerebral Palsy of Central Florida’s 32nd Annual Charity Poker Tournament and Gala, alongside Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris.
On Friday, April 4, UCP Central Florida is hosting a Celebrity Poker Tournament at the Caribe Royale Orlando, with all proceeds going to UCP’s education and therapy programs. Then, on Saturday, April 5, the Annual Gala will bring even more excitement.
News 6 meteorologists Michelle Morgan and Julie Broughton will also be joining the celebrity guest crew for the poker tournament!
This year’s gala celebrates 70 years of empowering children, directly benefiting UCP’s programs that support over 3,500 children and families across the region.
Mitte, who has cerebral palsy himself, has been a dedicated advocate for UCP for years. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 3 years old, he didn’t let anything stop his acting career, landing iconic roles in shows like “Breaking Bad,” “Weeds,” “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Switched at Birth.”
Mitte’s message is clear: your disability is not a limitation, it’s an opportunity.
“Don’t let the perceptions of others dictate who you are or what you’ll become,” he said. His advocacy focuses on leading by example and showing people the power of being seen.
