The tragic death of Johnny Wactor, beloved star of General Hospital, has deeply saddened family members, fellow actors, and fans alike. At just 37 years old, Wactor was shot and killed in Los Angeles while bravely protecting a coworker from thieves attempting to steal his car’s catalytic converter.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Wactor was escorting his coworker to her car after their shift at a rooftop bar. As he approached his own vehicle, he noticed three masked men nearby and initially thought it was being towed. However, when one of the men pointed a gun at him, Wactor fearlessly shielded his coworker from harm without a second thought.
Described by his brother Grant as a hardworking and compassionate individual, Johnny Wactor’s untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of many. Grant shared, “We’re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.” The memory of Wactor’s heroic act will forever be remembered and cherished by those who knew him.
Have a great time, everyone!
