Jordan is believed to have suffered a medical emergency while on the way to the set of the Fox series. He died after crashing into car into a building at Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street in Hollywood.
The diminutive actor was also known for his roles on “Will & Grace,” “American Horror Story,” and “Boston Legal,” and for his Instagram videos, which became popular during the pandemic.
“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” Jordan’s agent David Shaul told People after his death. “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.”
