There are a lot of tributes to the late General Hospital star Johnny Wactor from family members and other actors.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old man was shot and killed in Los Angeles on Saturday morning while protecting a coworker<\/p>\n
from thieves who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
His brother Grant told Daily Mail, \u201cWe\u2019re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grant said Wactor thought he was being towed because he saw three men in masks around his car.<\/p>\n
But when a man pointed a gun at the actor, he moved out of the way to protect his coworker from the gunfire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think my brother worked harder than anyone else I\u2019ve ever known.\u201d \u201cHe was a great son and brother,\u201d Grant told the news source.<\/p>\n
Still on the run, the three suspects are being looked into by the LAPD.<\/p>\n
People paid tribute to Wactor right away because he was known for playing Brando Corbin on the popular soap opera.<\/p>\n
William deVry, who also stars on General Hospital, called it a \u201csenseless\u201d death in a post.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really hard for me to find the right words to describe how sad I am about losing another #GHAlum,\u201d he wrote on X, which used to be Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are no words to describe how pointless this loss is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johny was a great person. Bad, really bad. \u201cRest in peace, Johnny Watson. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parry Shen, who played Brad Cooper on the daytime soap opera, also said that his friend had a \u201cbeautiful soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe soul of Johnny Wactor was so beautiful.\u201d \u201cSuch skill,\u201d Shen wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can see from the film, always ready for anything.\u201d Really funny.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very fit, but I loved ice cream and ate a lot of junk food too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all were cheated of many years with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
SINNED HEART
\nSofia Mattsson, who played Wactor\u2019s wife on the drama series, wrote a tribute to him on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohnny was the best ever.\u201d So honest. Such care. Very humble and very hardworking, she wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a big heart that brought happiness and kindness to everyone.\u201d He always made sure everyone knew they were loved, seen, and heard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI admire the man he was so much and I\u2019m a better person for having known him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
It was really lovely to be around Johnny Wactor. [\u2026] For many years, he lied to all of us.<\/p>\n
Actor Parry Shen in General Hospital
\n\u201cWe had so many wonderful times together, on and off screen, and I will always treasure them very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will miss you so much, Johnny\u2026 I\u2019m sure you\u2019re busy up there taking care of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wactor\u2019s tragic death was talked about on the show, which showed how the cast and crew felt.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Johnny Wactor\u2019s untimely passing,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was truly unique, and it was a pleasure to work with him every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robyn Bernard, who played Robyn on General Hospital, was found dead in San Jacinto, California, on March 12, 2019. She was 64 years old.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Grant talked about how devastated the rest of their family was.<\/p>\n
He told The Los Angeles Times, \u201cMy mother is tough as nails, but she\u2019s broken to the bone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe needs to go back to Charleston. It\u2019s a shame. It looks like the wrong place and time happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grant also said that his older brother \u201cdid what he wanted, even until the day he died\u201d and \u201clived life his way.\u201d<\/p>\n
His mother said in a statement, \u201cHe was a kind, loving son and brother, and he lived life to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe made plans and followed through.\u201d Our hearts and lives have a very big hole in them.\u201d<\/p>\n
