Emmy-winning actor, writer and singer Leslie Jordan, known for his roles in ‘Will & Grace’, ‘American Horror Story’ and ‘Hearts Afire’ has died. 

Mr Jordan was driving in Hollywood on Monday morning and crashed into the side of a building at Cahuenga Blvd. and Romaine St. 

TMZ reported, citing law enforcement, that it was suspected he suffered medical emergency.

In 2006, Mr Jordan won the Emmy Award for guest actor in a comedy series on ‘Will & Grace’.

He also appeared on television shows including ‘Ally McBeal’, ‘Ugly Betty’, ‘Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman’, ‘Hidden Palms’, ‘Star Trek: Voyager’, ‘Caroline in the City’, ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’, ‘Reba’, ‘Boston Public’, ‘Nash Bridges’ and ‘Boston Legal’.

“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” said David Shaul, Mr Jordan’s agent. “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.”
