Walt's Son
Is this kid for real or is he an extremely gifted actor? My wife and I love the sideline of the sticky-handed sister. I personally loved the episode where the Brother in Law takes the son to the Meth Motel, dead nuts on and hilarious. The tell-tale rotting teeth says it all.

mikeybug,
The actor who plays Walter, Jr., RJ Mitte, does have cerebral palsy, though I think he is still extrememly gifted. Check out this video doc on him:

Here is also a Q&A we did with RJ:

He really is a remarkable person
I really like those scenes at the motel, too. I think the interaction between Hank and Walt Jr. is great. There are hints that Walt Jr. and his dad were once close, but have grown apart for some reason, so I'm happy that he has someone who, however misguided, acts like a parent.
Another thing that really cracks me up about the motel scenes is the hooker coming over to the vehicle and putting her drink on the roof. Then she forgets about it until she's back in the room with Jesse. So funny!
