“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” Jordan’s representative, David Shaul of BRS/Gage Talent Agency, said in a statement to Us. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of it”s 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 driving in Los Angeles on Monday morning, and it’s suspected that he “suffered some sort of medical emergency and crashed his BMW into the side of a building,” TMZ reports.

The comedian has over 130 screen credits dating back to 1986, and some of his most memorable characters include Lonnie Garr on Hearts Afire, Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace and Mr. Blackly in The Help. Most recently, he has been a series regular on Call Me Kat alongside Mayim Bialik.
