Comedian, actor, and author Leslie Jordan has passed away at age 67 after suffering a medical emergency while driving his car in Los Angeles on Monday. The actor lost control of his vehicle during a medical episode where he would crash his car afterwards per TMZ reports.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” said Jordan’s agent, David Shaul, per Variety. “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.”
Jordan was known for his rolls on Will & Grace, Hearts Afire, and American Horror Story, amongst others.
