General Hospital Spoilers: Johnny Wactor Appeared In Nearly 200 Episodes Of GH

Wactor, who appeared in nearly 200 episodes of GH as Brando, according to TMZ was fatally shot in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday morning.

According to his mother Scarlett, Johnny and a coworker witnessed three men tampering with his car. Although the authorities have not disclosed his identity, this incident aligns with a case where three suspects attempted to steal a catalytic converter.

Scarlett reveals that Johnny did not resist or intervene, yet the assailants still shot him before fleeing the scene. Paramedics arrived shortly after 3 AM PT, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

GH Spoilers: No Description Given Of The Perpetrators

The suspects’ description has not been provided by the police. However, Johnny’s mother is hopeful they will be found soon. Johnny began his acting career in 2007 on “Army Wives” and has since appeared in various TV shows like “Westworld,” “The OA,” and “NCIS.”

Fans of Johnny will forever associate him with his role as Brando Corbin on ‘GH’, where he was married to Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson).

He played the character from 2020 until his departure in 2022. Brando, a distant relative of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) showed up at a Corinthos coffee warehouse under attack by Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) gangs. It was a three pronged attack and Brando saved Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) and others’ lives.
