The actor, comic, and writer is taking Hollywood by storm&mdash;both on screen and in real life.

From social media to the big screen, Jordan Firstman has emerged as one of Hollywood's most visionary new talents across comedy and acting.&nbsp;
He began his career by making significant waves in the short film industry as a screenwriter with Sundance-nominated films Men Don't Whisper (2016) and Call Your Father&nbsp;(2017), but he found his first viral success as a social media content creator.
During the height of the pandemic in 2020, Firstman began posting videos doing various impersonations and ultra-niche impressions, including "the town gossip who-has-no-more-gossip-during-quarantine", "Summer 2020", "Banana Bread's Publicist" and "all the clothes people are not wearing right now".
His comedic skits were met with positive feedback from fans and celebrities alike, with reactions from stars like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/ariana-grande-wicked-career-quitting-music-actor-roles-movies-upcoming-projects-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ariana Grande</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/katy-perry-justin-trudeau-dating-relationship-timeline-pr-relationship-fake-dating-unexpected-celebrity-couples-tour-tickets-boyfriend-age" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katy Perry</a>, and Chrissy Teigen. This recognition led him to a role as commentator alongside Grace Mahary for the Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2021&nbsp;fashion show held at the Los Angeles Coliseum, which was made to look like a fashion show in the future set on the moon. 
In 2022, he appeared in the Marvel series Ms Marvel, and in 2023 he starred in Sebastian Silva's first film, Rotting In The Sun&nbsp;which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and impressed critics and fans alike with its portrayal of unsimulated intimacy and existential crisis.&nbsp;
In 2024, he appeared as a guest on Grindr's podcast&nbsp;Who's the ***hole?&nbsp;hosted by former RuPaul Drag Race&nbsp;contestant Katya Zamolodchikova and famously starred in FX's The English Teacher&nbsp;as Malcom until the series's cancellation in 2025.&nbsp;
In 2025, Firstman signed a deal with Capitol Records and released his debut comedy album, Secrets, on April 11, based on confessions his followers sent on Instagram, featuring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rachel-sennott-best-style-moments-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Sennott</a>, Suki Waterhouse, and Julia Fox, among others. This year, Firstman is starring in Rachel Sennott's I Love LA&nbsp;as Charlie. The actor has just set his directorial debut Club Kid,&nbsp;in which he will star opposite Cara Delevingne and Diego Calva.&nbsp;
From screenwriter to leading man, there is no doubt that Jordan Firstman is establishing himself as a comedic force to be reckoned with for years to come.&nbsp;
