Michael Puffer reported the following story in the October 11 edition of the Sunday Republican.
It's not a big part. Jordan, 11, will appear for a few seconds on a Nov. 11 show, said Julia booker, his mother. He'll be in the background while detectives grill a girl.
The gig only paid $75, but it's building Jordan's resume. He has been asked to appear in another episode of "SVU" and has already participated as an extra in a filming for a future episode of the Showtime series "Nurse Jackie."
Julia Booker signed her charismatic son up with a talent agency this summer and the offers for extra work came rolling in. Nov. 11 will be the first time any of Jordan's work has made it to the screen.
Jordan, who is the grandson of Waterbury Alderman Cicero B. Booker, said he hopes to become a movie star like Will Smith. For the meantime, he's enjoying the bit parts.
"I like that I'm on TV and I get to meet new people," Jordan said.
