"My heart is so utterly broken... Johnny was the absolute best," Mattsson posted on Instagram. "So genuine. So caring. Incredibly hard-working and humble. With a huge heart that spread so much kindness and joy. He always made sure everyone around him felt seen, heard and loved. I admire the man he was so much and I'm a better person for having known him." She continued, "We shared so many special moments, both on and off screen, and I will forever cherish them deeply in my heart. You will be so incredibly missed Johnny... I'm sure you're already busy taking care of everyone up there." https://www.instagram.com/p/C7c2MtIPGEO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Wactor appeared in the ABC daytime soap between 2020 and 2022, playing Brando Corbin's role.
