The actor was murdered in a horrific vehicle accident in Los Angeles on Monday morning, according to US media. He was best known for his roles in Will and Grace and American Horror Story.
According to police, Jordan was pronounced deceased at the scene after his automobile slammed into the side of a building. His publicist claimed that since his passing, the world had grown “darker.”
David Shaul said of him, “Not only was he a great talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional refuge to the country at one of its most trying moments.” The only comfort one can have right now is the knowledge that he left this planet at the pinnacle of both his professional and personal lives.
It was unclear, the officers said, whether Jordan had experienced a medical emergency prior to the crash or had been killed in it.
He was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1955, and at age 12 he told his mother he was gay in the fervently religious US state. “My mum was informed of my concerns. I had never even heard of the term “gay.” “Last year, he spoke with People magazine.
“I anticipated that she would whip out her Bible, but she didn’t. He stated that she advised him to “just live your life quietly” and said, “I’m just terribly scared that if you follow this road, you’ll be mocked. I disregarded her advice in that instance.”
He relocated to Los Angeles after earning his degree from the University of Tennessee in 1982 and took on a number of jobs before landing his breakthrough role in the drama Murphy Brown. Standing at about 4 feet 11 inches (1.50 meters), he was renowned for his little stature and frequently portrayed flamboyant characters.
He rose to recognition as Beverley Leslie in the American sitcom Will and Grace, for which he received a 2006 Primetime Emmy nomination.
Jordan gained notoriety among younger audiences during the Covid-19 outbreak as a social media celebrity, publishing daily updates while under quarantine in his Chattanooga, Tennessee, residence.
Jordan amassed over 5.8 million followers on Instagram by posting twice daily and sharing reflections on his life, opinions on popular music, and dance routines.
