Very sad news today out of Hollywood.
Leslie Jordan, an actor and comedian who appeared on such hits shows as Will & Grace and American Horror Story, passed away on Monday morning after being involved in a car accident.
He was 67 years old.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” the late star’s agent David Shaul said in a statement.
“Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times.
“What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being.
“Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today.”
According to TMZ, which cited law enforcement insiders upon breaking this awful story, the actor was driving in Hollywood on October 24, when he was suspected to have suffered from a medical emergency… crashing his vehicle into the side of a building as a result.
Jordan’s passing was also confirmed on his official Instagram on Monday afternoon via a brief statement teasing that Jordan was still working in final days.
“The love and light that Leslie shared will never go out and we invite you to share their memories and comfort each other during this time,” the post read.
“In the coming days we will be giving a glimpse of a project Leslie was really proud of and was looking forward to sharing with the world.”
Jordan earned a 2006 Primetime Emmy for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for his hilarious portrayal of Beverly Leslie on Will & Grace.
He also appeared in movie and TV series — including Sordid Lives, The Help, Murphy Brown, Ugly Betty and Boston Public.
Following news of his passing, many of Jordan’s co-stars paid tribute to his impressive legacy.
Will & Grace star Eric McCormack, for example, wrote on Twitter today:
“Crushed to learn about the loss of @thelesliejordan, the funniest & flirtiest southern gent I’ve ever known. The joy and laughter he brought to every one of his #WillandGrace episodes was palpable.
“Gone about thirty years too soon. You were loved, sweet man.”

“I will miss you my friend…Mama is waiting on you.”
