Mitte, who himself is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, believes that disabled figures in the media should receive as much screen time as able-bodied actors, reported Variety.
"We know lots of progress is being made but the industry must do more to help disabled people work both in front of and behind the camera," Mitte said in an interview to Irish Examiner.
"During the Paralympics there will be more disabled people than ever before on TV but this shouldn't be something that just happens every four years."
Mitte, who will also co-host the 2016 Paralympic Games in September, revealed that he used personal experiences with his disability to relate to his character.
"I wouldn't be in the position I am in today without my disability. I utilized everything I know about living with cerebral palsy for my role in 'Breaking Bad'," said Mitte.
