"My heart is broken," Sean - who played the part of Jack McFarland on the NBC sitcom - wrote on Twitter alongside a throwback photo of the diminutive actor.

"Leslie Jordan was one of the funniest people I ever had the pleasure of working with. Everyone who ever met him, loved him. There will never be anyone like him. A unique talent with an enormous, caring heart. You will be missed, my dear friend."
