It was also named Fast Company’s “Best Super Bowl Ad of 2021”. Most recently, he starred in and produced Without Remorse on Amazon Prime Video.

In 2016, Jordan launched Outlier Society, a cutting-edge production company focused on bringing an eclectic and inclusive lineup of diverse stories and voices to market. The company recently partnered with Amazon on a “360-degree creative relationship,” which includes an exclusive overall TV agreement, a first-look film deal, and collaborations with each element of Amazon’s ecosystem. Its impressive upcoming slate includes the live-action adaption of Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ record-breaking Static Shock alongside Reginald Hudlin; and the Danny Boyle-directed Methuselah, among many others.

Jordan first garnered industry-wide attention for his breakout role in Fruitvale Station, which won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival in 2013 among other accolades that year.
