General Hospital Actor Johnny Wactor Killed During Attempted Robbery

In a heartbreaking turn of events, actor Johnny Wactor, best known for his role as Brando Corbin on ABC’s ‘General Hospital,‘ was tragically killed at the age of 37. The incident occurred early Saturday morning when three suspects attempted to steal the catalytic converter from Wactor’s vehicle, as confirmed by Deadline. According to a law enforcement source, when Wactor confronted the thieves, he was shot by the suspects, who then fled the scene.

Johnny and a co-worker had stayed late at a rooftop bar where Johnny was bartending to help clean up. They were heading to their cars around 3 or 3:30 am when the incident occurred. His mother, Scarlett Wactor recalled, “They were walking to their car, and when they get there, Johnny’s car, which was parked in front of the co-worker’s, looked like it was jacked to one side.

From what I understand, he said, ‘Hey, man, you towing my car?’ … And the person looked up and had a mask, and so then I guess he knew they weren’t doing that, and so he stepped in front of the co-worker and then backed up and put his hands up or both, and the person shot him.”
