Johnny's Actor Reinvention - "General Hospital" actor murdered in Los Angeles.
Johnny Wactor, recognized for his role in the American soap opera "General Hospital," was gunned down in Los Angeles. The actor, who was also featured in the supernatural show "Siberia," was only 37 years old.
His mom informed the American news outlet "TMZ" that the incident happened early in the morning on a Saturday in downtown LA. Wactor was accompanied by a fellow actor when they noticed three guys fiddling with his car. Although the authorities have yet to disclose his identity, the description aligns with an incident involving three suspects allegedly attempting to steal a catalytic converter. The Los Angeles Police Department shared that officers arrived at the site around 3:25 am close to Pico Boulevard and Hope Street. Upon reaching the crime scene, they discovered a man with a gunshot injury. He was taken to a nearby hospital, but succumbed to his injuries.
The suspects had already fled the scene, and their arrests are still pending, according to the police. The investigation is still in progress. The account alleges that Wactor did not aim to resist or stop the men, yet they still shot him.
Sarabeth Schedeen, Wactor's representative, conveyed the following in a statement to "The Hollywood Reporter": "Johnny Wactor was a remarkable actor and friend. The light has dimmed today. Among his numerous impressive skills were kindness, devotion, diligence, empathy, and unmatched determination. He was a remarkable athlete, both personally and professionally. In an industry full of ups and downs, Johnny excelled in navigating the highs and lows of life with optimism and grace. Johnny embodied moral virtues in every aspect. This sad loss is felt by all who collaborated with him and knew him."

He was one-of-a-kind and it was a treat to work with him daily. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during this challenging time."
