Brian Jordan Alvarez gains fame with viral dance videos promoting 'English Teacher'

Brian Jordan Alvarez, the star of FX/Hulu's "English Teacher," is gaining popularity through viral dance videos on TikTok and Instagram. His shirtless performances, inspired by a scene from "Gilmore Girls," have attracted over 10 million views. Initially, Alvarez did not intend to promote his show with these videos. However, viewer comments encouraged him to include messages about streaming "English Teacher" in his posts, leading to increased interest in the series. The show, which follows a gay English teacher in Texas, wrapped its first season last month but has not been renewed. Alvarez plans to continue making dance videos as long as they remain popular.
