Beloved actor dies at 37 after being shot in Los Angeles

There are a lot of tributes to the late General Hospital star Johnny Wactor from family members and other actors.

The 37-year-old man was shot and killed in Los Angeles on Saturday morning while protecting a coworker from thieves who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.

At about 3:25 am, Wactor was walking a coworker to her car after working a shift at a rooftop bar when something terrible happened.

His brother Grant told Daily Mail, “We’re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.”

Grant said Wactor thought he was being towed because he saw three men in masks around his car.

But when a man pointed a gun at the actor, he moved out of the way to protect his coworker from the gunfire.

“I think my brother worked harder than anyone else I’ve ever known.” “He was a great son and brother,” Grant told the news source.

Still on the run, the three suspects are being looked into by the LAPD.

People paid tribute to Wactor right away because he was known for playing Brando Corbin on the popular soap opera.

William deVry, who also stars on General Hospital, called it a “senseless” death in a post.

It’s really hard for me to find the right words to describe how sad I am about losing another #GHAlum,” he wrote on X, which used to be Twitter.

“There are no words to describe how pointless this loss is.”

Johny was a great person. Bad, really bad. “Rest in peace, Johnny Watson. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends.”

Parry Shen, who played Brad Cooper on the daytime soap opera, also said that his friend had a “beautiful soul.”

“The soul of Johnny Wactor was so beautiful.” “Such skill,” Shen wrote.

“As you can see from the film, always ready for anything.” Really funny.

“I was very fit, but I loved ice cream and ate a lot of junk food too.”

“We all were cheated of many years with him.”
