I’m completely gutted. It’s so sudden, so senseless, so unfair. Johnny was the epitome of a “stand up guy.” He lived by his sound morals, respect, true kindness and love. He truly gave of himself to anyone in his community. The way he held you with his eyes and energy while in his presence was unique and deeply felt. He’d always walk people to our cars at night, carry around his climbing bag at all times (I’d joke with him “just in case he’s gotta get something up high for someone), and give himself over completely while acting. That’s the man he was. So talented, so giving in life and art and an insanely fun friend. I miss him so much already. I spent most of yesterday just so angry until I got to be with our acting community who gathered to feel the love he nurtured in all of us and grieve the huge gap left after this senseless act of violence. We got you bro. We are carrying on for you and going to fight to make these streets safer and to help those who need it. Because that’s what you would be here doing right now if it weren’t for someone’s horrible decision. I really hope you knew how much you impacted this world. I hope you felt the love from all of us. I hope you didn’t feel alone in your last moments. I hope you weren’t afraid. #johnnywactor #generalhospital #gunviolence #takebackthestreets #justiceforjohnnywactor @generalhospitalabc @karenbassla @level8.dtla @stuartrogersstudios #southcarolina

Here it is! Since CDs prefer clips now I hadn’t really updated my theatrical reel in a while. So here is the long (5 mins) version of my reel I can’t really use anywhere else.😜 But I made it and would love for you to take a break, take a breath and enjoy! Congrats if you make it past the average attention span of 47 seconds. #actor #reel #theatricalreel #demoreel #drama #action #comedy #suspense #procedural #indiefilm #hollywood #makingmovies #film #filmmaking
When you got ready in the car and don’t realize you pulled it off until you get home. 🤦🏻♀️ 😜 But swipe to see the messy house. #datenight #summervibes #summercocktail #dressup #feminine #kicks #legday #kicking #motherhood #asianamericanwomen #hapagirls

I think I got to talk to everyone, dance, eat and took exactly one picture. So heartwarming to see so many good friends. The #TaurusAwards is the best party/family reunion/prom in town! It was also incredible to see the legendary Rick Seaman receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. Congrats to all the nominees, winners, presenters and all around incredible people who do this work. #stunties #stunts #taurusawards #stuntperformers #action #movies #actionmovies #hollywood #reunion #fairmonthotel #redbull

I can’t believe we are here. I can’t believe I’m putting my dear friend, Johnny Wactor’s face on this flyer to beg the public for information. Asking the public to do what I pray the police are doing. After 1 whole week of heartache it is still literally unbelievable. 💔 We love you Johnny. #justiceforjohnny #leadership @karenbassla @mayorofla @kdeleon @generalhospitalabc @level8.dtla @houston_bros @stuartrogersstudios

New adventures with these two. Using this time to analyze my need for action. Does it come from fear or confidence? Do I use it to mask something or to run towards something? When my routine changes do I fill it with action before knowing what the need is? Regardless, so grateful I have these two to take action with. #love #action #motherhood #personhood #summervibes #travel #indiana #homesweethome #homeiswheretheheartis #family #friends

Kicking it with friends. Allowing pain, sadness, anger at injustice into my body. Channeling all that into conversation, movement, and art so it can be a lesson and not just a sh*tty situation. . . . #midweekmotivation #humpday #kicking #tkd #martialarts #martialartist #art #taekwondo #creativity #expressyourself #partnerworkout #trainingpartner #fitness #healthy #mentalhealth #motherhood #parenthood

Feeling utterly helpless and heartbroken. Sharing this Times article as a resource for an infinitesimal way to do SOMETHING. Please check out these organizations for yourself before donating. As a westerner I’ve been struggling with how to process or be in anyway helpful, and I think that’s because in something as horrific as this we jump to “What can I do?!” And that immediacy can overwhelm us putting us into disconnection and paralysis. Here’s the tiny bit I’ve come up with but it might help you: 1. How do I FEEL? (I.e. Writing or talking with someone about MY personal thoughts and feelings around this and adjacent humanitarian issues, not just repeating all the horror I’ve seen). This is how we preserve humanity at its core. 2. How can I CARE for myself so I can care for others? (I.e. Allow myself to be in discomfort, limit my consumption of news to what my nervous system can handle, eat healthy, sleep, move my body) 3. What can I DO? Whether it’s to TRY to do something to bring immediate aid to those suffering or to express your condemnation of the violence so our leaders hear us loudly or to teach and BE love and tolerance to prevent this in other parts of the world. You do you. Even thinking about things like “how can I soothe my nervous system?” seems like such a f’in luxury comparatively, but the process has to start somewhere. But the point is, you have to process it! THIS EVENT effects YOU and how you deal with it will effect THE WORLD in some way or another.
