is best known for his innumerable television appearances both as a
series regular and guest star. Along with his portrayal of the

Lives as well as
his one-man autobiographical stage renderings “Like
a Dog on Linoleum”
and “Hysterical
Blindness and other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life
Thus Far” have
hailed Jordan with well deserved accolades for his unique talent.
