Jordan, winner of the Emmy Award for his role as Beverly Leslie in the series "Will and Grace", starred throughout his long career on stage and screen in series and movies, and with the outbreak of the corona epidemic also became a network star with millions of followers on social networks.
Among the series and films in which he took part over the years are "Ugly Betty", "Star Trek", "Boston Public", "Sabrina the Young Witch", "Desperate Housewives" and "American Horror".
He recently took part in the comedy series "Call Me Kat" alongside Mayim Bialik ("The Big Bang"), whose third season aired last month on the Fox network.

Eric McCormack, who played Will, also paid tribute to him on social media: "My heart is broken to hear about the loss of Leslie Jordan," he added.
"The joy and laughter he brought to every episode of 'Will and Grace' was real. He passed away about 30 years too soon. You were loved, a dear man," he wrote.
"I can't believe it," added Megan Mulally, who starred alongside him in the series.
"Not many people are good at everything, but Leslie was impeccably funny and a comedy virtuoso."
