Some people leave performances stunned and amazed, while others immediately reach for their cell phones to tell friends, you must see this show." For more info on Leslie, go to his official web site: http:// www.brotherboy.com In 1982, Leslie Jordan stepped off a Greyhound bus from the hills of Tennessee and since then has appeared in hundreds of TV shows, film and commercials. Leslie is definitely one of our culture's darlings - referring to a fan base that stems from the astounding success of Del Shores' cult classic film adaptation of his play SORDID LIVES in which Leslie played the break-out role of Brother Boy - co starring Olivia Newton-John, Delta Burke, and Beau Bridges. Jordan has recurring roles on the hit TV shows: WILL AND GRACE - (playing the recurring role of Beverly Leslie, the best friend and arch nemesis of Karen - Megan Mullaly), BOSTON PUBLIC, REBA, and has also appeared on ALLY McBEAL. On stage, Jordan has won the "Ovation Award," the "Garland Award," and the "LA Drama Critics Circle Award" for his portrayal of Preston Leroy, the aging, sodden homosexual in Del Shores' hit play SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES. His screenplay LOST IN THE PERSHING POINT HOTEL won the LA Independent Film Festival's Production Grant Award, beating out over 600 other scripts. Subsequently, it was made into an independent film that is currently being distributed by Northern Arts Entertainment. Leslie is one of the stars in the 2006 Planet Out Grand Prize Award-Winning short movie SISSY FRENCHFRY (dir. JC Olivia) - with Miss Coco Peru.
