In the above clip, Mitte rounds up a number of White’s grandest shows of paternal devotion — even the ones that probably put his family further in harm’s way (consider this a spoiler alert for those still working their way through past seasons on Netflix), not out of it. “Would someone else have been jealous of all the time you spent with Jesse Pinkman?” Mitte asks. “A little, but you never let my girlfriend choke on her own vomit.” That’s true family love right there. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2854302/breaking-bad-fathers-day-walter-white-rj-mitte/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2854302/breaking-bad-fathers-day-walter-white-rj-mitte/"},"headline":"Watch RJ Mitte Wish Walter White a Happy Father's Day","datePublished":"2014-06-10T22:02:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:20:20.006Z","description":"The real-life Walter Jr. pays tribute to the TV dad who would do anything for his family","url":"https://time.com/2854302/breaking-bad-fathers-day-walter-white-rj-mitte/","keywords":["Television","walter white","breaking bad","Bryan Cranston","Father's Day"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2854302/breaking-bad-fathers-day-walter-white-rj-mitte/","name":"Watch RJ Mitte Wish Walter White a Happy Father's Day"}}]}] ```
