In the Life of a Blue Collar Actor we follow Jordan through his early years, going on auditions with Dustin Hoffman and Joe Don Baker of "Walking Tall" fame, his early television appearances with E.G. Marshall on "The Defenders" and William Shatner on "For the People", working with guest stars like Jill St. John and Dyan Cannon, plus his first film with Sal Mineo and Juliet Prowse and his early legitimate theatre performances before moving onto Hollywood.
