Leslie Jordan is the 2006 Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his delicious portrayal of “Beverley Leslie” on Will and Grace.   Television audiences will also remember him for his recurring roles on Ugly Betty, Boston Legal, and Reba.

Feature film audiences will recognize Leslie from his performance as “Brother Boy” in Del Shores’ adaptation of his play Sordid Lives with Olivia Newton-John, Delta Burke and Beau Bridges. He continued the role in Sordid Lives… the Series for the cable network Logo, which starred Rue McClanahan, Caroline Rhea and Bonnie Bedelia among others. He has a starring role in the upcoming Dreamworks feature film The Help based on the best selling novel by Kathryn Stockett.

On stage, Mr. Jordan won the Ovation Award, The Garland Award and The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his portrayal of “Preston Leroy,” the aging, sodden barfly in Del Shores hit play Southern Baptist Sissies.

Mr. Jordan has enjoyed considerable success as a writer. His book My Trip Down the Pink Carpet for Simon and Schuster is currently in bookstores. Material from the book forms the basis of a 90-minute one-man show, which had a 45 city book-signing/performance tour and a successful twelve week Off-Broadway run in 2010. A London run of the show is in the planning stages for 2011. A dvd of the show shot during performances in Atlanta is now available.
