When RJ Mitte was born he wasn’t breathing, which resulted in lasting brain damage. He was left by his biological parents, but was soon adopted by Roy Frank Mitte Jr. and Dyna Mitte. When he was only three years old, Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy; anyway, this did not affect his will for future life, so as a teenager he was very active in many sports, which strengthened his body. With his family he lived in Louisiana, until his sister Lacianne Carriere invited him to play in a film, and they moved to California. As a 13-year-old boy, Mitte became responsible for his mother and younger sister, since their father left, so he had to work a number of jobs. At one point, Mitte made the decision to become a professional actor, but before he became known, he was featured in a number of commercials, and his first role was a cameo appearance in the popular Disney TV series “Hannah Montana” (2007), as School Jock.
