Leslie Jordan, a cherished comedian and actor best known for his work on “Will and Grace,” passed away, according to his agent.
He was 67.
Without Leslie Jordan’s love and light, the world would undoubtedly be a much darker place today. He was not only a huge talent and a pleasure to work with, but he also offered the country an emotional haven during one of its most trying moments. His magnificence as a son, brother, artist, comic, partner, and human being more than made up for his short stature. The only comfort one can have right now is knowing that he left this planet at the pinnacle of both his professional and personal lives, according to Sarabeth Schedeen, Jordan’s talent agency.
Leslie’s lawyer, Eric Feig, issued a statement in which he said: “Beyond his talents, Leslie’s gifts of bringing joy to those he touched, his ability to connect with people of all ages, his humility, generosity and his sweetness will be dearly missed by everybody.”
According to the LA County coroner, who recognized Jordan, and a LA Fire Department official, Jordan was engaged in a car accident on Monday morning in Hollywood and was declared dead at the scene.
