THIEVES MURDER HERO SOAP HUNK

He died trying to protect gal

COURAGEOUS soap star Johnny Wactor was shielding a female co-worker from three thieves when he was shot dead in cold blood in Los Angeles!

Now, his devastated kid brother, Grant, is saying the gutsy final act of heroism by the 37-year-old, who played Brando Corbin on General Hospital from 2020 to 2022, was typical of the “Southern gentleman” born in Charleston, S.C.

The shattering 3:25 a.m. shooting on May 25 came as Wactor, who worked as a bartender between acting gigs, was escorting his co-worker at a rooftop bar to their cars. He discovered three thugs with a tow truck attempting to steal a catalytic converter, which can be resold for hundreds of dollars due to rare metals inside, from his ride.
