About Jordan
Jordan studied acting with playwright David Mamet and actor William H. Macy from 1981 to 1985 while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama at New York University.
Before graduating, at Mamet's suggestion, he and fellow classmates co-founded the Atlantic Theater Company now based in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. He has performed in more than a hundred productions with Atlantic on stage and for radio since 1985.
Jordan made his stage debut in high school productions in 1978. In addition to working extensively in film, television, on stage, and radio for over 40 years, Jordan has appeared in almost 2 dozen of David Mamet's plays and 5 of his films.
Jordan teaches acting, script analysis, sketch comedy writing, does audition coaching, and conducts his Acting the Plays of David Mamet workshop, most recently at the Atlantic Theater School in NYC where he was on faculty for 27 years. His students have included Jessica Alba, Jason Ritter, Simon Helberg, Eloise Mumford, and Vicky Jeudy.
