Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was three. He moved to Los Angeles in 2006, and worked with a personal talent manager to find acting opportunities where his disability could educate viewers. After playing minor roles in sitcoms, he was cast in his breakthrough role as Walter White Jr. on the AMC neo-Western crime drama television series Breaking Bad (2008–2013).

Mitte starred in the ABC Family teen and family drama television series Switched at Birth (2014) and the Netflix live-action/adult animated mixed media superhero television series the Guardians of Justice (2022).

Mitte advocated for cerebral palsy and other disabilities. He was a Screen Actors Guild spokesman for actors with disabilities, a celebrity ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy, and the founder of the nonprofit organization the Mitte Foundation. He received the SAG-AFTRA Harold Russell Award in 2013.
