Mitte advocated for the recognition of 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 president of the nonprofit organization the Mitte Foundation. He received the SAG-AFTRA Harold Russell Award in 2013.
