Wactor’s bravery and selflessness were evident in the moments leading up to the incident. Walking his coworker to her car after a shift at a rooftop bar, he noticed three masked men near his vehicle. Believing his car was being towed, he quickly realized the danger when a man brandished a gun. Without hesitation, Wactor shielded his coworker from harm, displaying the true essence of a Southern gentleman.

His brother, Grant, shared with the Daily Mail, “We’re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.” Grant described Johnny as a hardworking individual, both as an actor and as a family member, stating, “I think my brother worked harder than anyone else I’ve ever known.
