“My heart is broken,” Sean Hayes, who played Jack McFarland on the NBC sitcom, wrote. “There will never be anyone like him. A unique talent with an enormous, caring heart. Leslie, you will be missed, my dear friend.”
In a statement to NBC News, Jordan’s spokesperson for the actor said, “The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan. 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,” the statement continued. “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.” His official Instagram also left a message for his followers, writing in part, “The love and light that Leslie shared will never go out and we invite you to share your memories and comfort each other during this time.”
It noted that in the coming days they will be “giving a glimpse of a project Leslie was really proud of and was looking forward to sharing with the world.”
