Very sad news for the world of television. The actor Johnny Wactor, notably known for the role of Brando Corbin in the American series General Hospital (Central Hospital), was shot and killed last weekend during an attempted robbery of his vehicle in Los Angeles, California.
According to the actor’s mother, interviewed by TMZ, the 37-year-old star was with a colleague when he saw three men trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car. If Johnny Wactor did not try to fight against the thieves, according to her, they still shot him before fleeing. The actor was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead shortly after.
