It is with profound sadness that we pay tribute to the late Johnny Wactor, the beloved star of General Hospital. Sadly, at only 37 years old, Wactor’s life was tragically cut short one Saturday morning in Los Angeles. He heroically sacrificed himself while protecting a coworker from thieves who were attempting to steal his catalytic converter.
Wactor’s bravery and selflessness were evident in the moments leading up to the incident. While walking his coworker to her car after a shift at a rooftop bar, he noticed three masked men near his vehicle.
Thinking that his car was being towed, he quickly realized the danger when one of the men pulled out a gun. Without hesitation, Wactor shielded his coworker from harm, showcasing the true essence of a Southern gentleman.
His brother, Grant, shared with the Daily Mail, “We’re proud Southerners, and we would never let a woman walk to her car alone.” Grant described Johnny as a hardworking individual both in his acting career and as a family member. He said, “I believe my brother worked harder than anyone I’ve ever known. He was a devoted son and a loving brother.”
News of Wactor’s untimely death sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and among fans of General Hospital. Fellow actor William deVry, who also appears on the show, expressed his grief over the loss.
Calling it a “senseless” tragedy, deVry emphasized the profound impact Johnny had on those around him. He took to social media, formerly known as Twitter, to write, “There are no words to describe how pointless this loss is. Johnny was an incredible person.
This is just heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Johnny Wactor. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends.”
Parry Shen, who shared the screen with Wactor on General Hospital, remembered his friend’s beautiful soul. Shen acknowledged Johnny’s talent and sense of humor, describing him as someone always ready for anything. He fondly recalled the wonderful times they spent together, both on and off the screen, expressing his deep admiration for Wactor as a person.
Johnny Wactor’s impact extended beyond his colleagues on the show. Sofia Mattsson, who played his wife on the drama series, expressed her admiration for him on Instagram.
She highlighted Wactor’s honesty, care, humility, and hard work, emphasizing his ability to bring happiness and kindness to everyone he encountered. Mattsson cherished the time they spent together and expressed gratitude for having known him, calling him a true inspiration.
