Leslie Jordan, a beloved actor who frequently guest-starred on “Will and Grace,” died in an apparent car crash on Monday, TMZ and the Los Angeles Times reported. The actor was 67.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the comedian, who gained a major following on social media during the pandemic, crashed his car into a building in Hollywood.
Representatives for Jordan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Los Angeles Police Department Office Warren Moore confirmed to HuffPost that there was “a car incident today where the driver of the vehicle collided into a wall,” although he declined to comment on whether Jordan was the driver in question.
Jordan, known for his diminutive stature and southern drawl, appeared in hit shows like “American Horror Story,” “Con Man” and “Boston Public” during his nearly three decades in show business. He was currently working on the sitcom “Call Me Kat” with Mayim Bialik.

“Danny helped out with a new song comin’ real soon,” the actor and comedian wrote on Sunday, before adding his usual sign off, “Love. Light. Leslie.”
