Leslie Jordan, best known for his roles as Lonnie Garr in “Hearts Afire," Beverly Leslie in "Will & Grace," and most recently Phil in "Call Me Kat," has died. He was 67. His agent David Shaul confirmed his death to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Monday. "The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan," Shaul said in a statement. "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." More at our link in bio. 📸: Getty
