One year after beloved “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor was murdered in downtown Los Angeles after a work shift, his final film is set to premiere at the upcoming 2025 Dances with Films Festival.
Wactor, 37, was shot and killed on May 25, 2024, when police said he was “confronted by three individuals” who had his car “raised up with a floor jack and were in the process of stealing the catalytic converter.”
The actor’s final work was filmed in 2022, according to FOX 11, but is now about to hit the big screen.
Friends and family of Wactor confirmed to the outlet that the film, “Ciao, Mama,” will premiere at L.A.’s Dances with Films Festival on June 24 at TCL Cinemas in Hollywood.
Nearly three months after Wactor’s murder, police arrested four suspected Florencia 13 gang members in connection with his slaying.
“Johnny was a victim,” said Parker. “He was a victim of this crime, but he lived his life as anything but a victim. He was a doer. He was a dreamer. So, that’s where we’re turning the page now.”
Wactor got his start on television in the series “Army Wives” before appearing in other shows like “Animal Kingdom,” “Criminal Minds” and “Westworld.”
He was best known for his role as Brando Corbin in 164 episodes of “General Hospital” from 2020 to 2022.
