"Well, well well!" Will & Grace's Leslie Jordan has died

[Mel O'Drama]

At 67 in a car accident.

I liked him best on Will & Grace and Boston Legal. I also watched his short-lived show The Cool Kids. I haven't watched his last show, Call Me Kat, yet, but if I do I'll enjoy him there one last time.

I remember him appearing on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother where he was a highly entertaining housemate.

Hard to believe that he was only sixty seven - he looked much older than that.

RIP

Like most people i remember him also from Will & Grace he was very funny in this series. so sad to hear he died at a young age of 67 years.

I remember working on several episodes of The Cool Kids a few years ago at FOX studios. I worked the Pilot and the series finale and one other, I think...I was feet away from him at the craft service food table. He was so short. I never got to talk to him because I didn't want to bother him while he was busy getting food while on a tape stop.

I think my favorite role of his was in a film called Sordid Lives (based on a play), which focused on the trashy exploits of a group of people in a small Southern town. Jordan played "Brother Boy," (the nickname his sisters gave him) a character obsessed with Tammy Wynette, the country singer. He'd dress up like her (badly) and lip-synch to her songs (badly)....so they committed him to an institution. Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John (!!) and Beau Bridges were also in it, but Jordan (as usual) stole the show.

I actually saw him do a stand-up routine at the Atlanta Pride Festival in Piedmont Park in 2007. This was when people were just getting to know his W&G character, but I knew him as 'that guy who played Brother Boy'.

Small in statue but big in personality. Absolutely brilliant in Will & Grace. My favourite line? "Karen Walker. I thought I smelled Gin and regret."

Take heart that you will be making people laugh for eternity.​

I'm still rather partial to "Well well well, Miss Karen Walker. I'd kiss your hand, but I'm afraid of catchin' the herpes...."
