Career

In 1976, Jordan starred as Joseph Armagh, in a highly successful early TV mini-series, Taylor Caldwell's "Captains and the Kings".

Jordan's final role was that of General Lewis Armistead in "Gettysburg". One of the first members of the cast (some 15 years before the film was made) it has been said that the film was one of his proudest achievements as an actor. He was close friends with author Michael Shaara, writer of "The Killer Angels" (the novel which "Gettysburg" was based upon), and also contributed to the screenplay. Jordan's last moment on screen was the mortal wounding of his character, General Armistead.

Jordan was to have played the part of Dr. Charles Nichols in "The Fugitive", but fell ill during shooting, and was replaced by Jeroen Krabbé.

Family

Jordan had a daughter Nina (born 1964) from his marriage (1964-1972) to actress Kathleen Widdoes, and a son Robert (born 1983) by his nine-year relationship with actress Blair Brown. At the time of his death, he was in a five-year relationship with actress Marcia Cross.
