A heartbreaking end for a beloved TV actor: Leslie Jordan, known for his roles on Will & Grace and American Horror Story as well as his viral videos on social media, has died in a car crash at 67.
According to TMZ, the actor reportedly suffered a medical emergency this morning while driving in Hollywood, and crashed his BMW into a building.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” Jordan’s agent David Shaul said in a statement, per Variety.
“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.”
Jordan, openly gay and 4’11”, was a one-of-a-kind actor who lent his comedic talents to many shows over his long career.
His best-known performance was his recurring role on the hit sitcom Will & Grace, the sexually ambiguous frenemy of Karen (Megan Mullally.) Jordan won an Emmy Award in 2006 for his performance.
Jordan also played several characters in the American Horror Story franchise, and most recently co-starred in the series Call Me Kat opposite Mayim Bialik.
I am stunned at the death of Leslie Jordan, who delighted us with his many roles on television and film. The cause of death was a car crash after he suffered a medical emergency. Leslie, we are heartbroken at your loss and will miss your mirth and your inimitable spirit.
