Johnny Wactor, best known for playing Brando Corbin in ‘General Hospital,’ has been shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles. According to TV station KTLA, Wactor was shot dead in the early morning during an attempted catalytic converter theft. The LAPD responded to an incident at Pico Boulevard and Hope Street, where they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The 37-year-old actor’s youngest brother, Grant, confirmed his death to KTLA. In a statement, Wactor’s agent, David Shaul, called him a “spectacular human being” who was a “real moral example to everyone.” The LAPD has said that the victim saw three men stealing the catalytic converter from his vehicle and when he confronted them, they shot him. Wactor’s mother, Scarlett, told ABC 7 that her son was leaving his job at a downtown rooftop bar when the incident occurred. Paramedics brought Wactor to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
