HOLLYWOOD\u2014This week our Leaders in the Art goes to the creator and producer of \u201cTrue Blood.\u201d\u009d Alan Ball has been credited with reviving HBO, if not outright saving the network from a constant decline in the ratings. The \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d fever pitch is strong, not just in the U.S. but internationally. Each week I receive e-mails from fans in Australia, the UK and even Israel stating how much they love the show and the wonderful characters that Alan Ball has brought to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characters like Tara played by Rutina Wesley and Jason played by Ryan Kwanten may be supporting players, but you can count on Mr. Ball putting them front and center at some point every season, and that\u2019s what makes his style of writing and producing so accessible to his viewers. The man who is also known as a television genius seems to know his viewers and how to give them exactly what they want, and is able to see better than anyone in the entertainment industry how to excite viewers. Surely there are others, like Bradley P. Bell who helms \u201cB&B\u201d\u009d and filmmakers like Clint Eastwood, James Cameron and Henry Jaglom, who know their core audience and know just how to press every button to entertain, engage and tantalize their viewers with so many surprises they feel like it\u2019s Christmas morning watching their shows and films.<\/p>\n

Season two of \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d was in my humble opinion so great on many levels. The demonic force known to viewers as a maenad, played by actress Michelle Forbes as Maryann was defeated not just by the Christians, mind readers and shape shifters. The vampires even joined in to hasten her demise. This speaks volumes today when you realize we are in a war against a radical enemy that can only be defeated if others join in to fight them, not just one nation. Alan Ball however doesn\u2019t delve into all the political posturing he could easily fall into and other producers and writers unsuccessfully try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

By keeping his show strictly entertaining without trying to preach any agenda, he\u2019s managed to bring in over 12 million loyal viewers each week to the series that fans have created message boards, Web sites and Facebook pages to celebrate the cult classic TV series. Fans do banter and bicker like all families do over who their favorite characters are. It\u2019s 50\/50 usually between Eric and Bill, played by Adonis Alexander Skarsgard and handsome Stephen Moyer respectively. Though fans are totally in love with Tara and Jason as well. Sure they get on the viewers nerves at times. When Jason was a member of the mega-church that was seeking to destroy the vampires and Tara stupidly went back for her boyfriend Eggs who was under Maryann\u2019s evil spell, fans were yelling at them at the time. However, fans still were flatly rooting for both characters and that\u2019s to the credit of the genius who created characters that can transcend race, culture and even religious differences in order to cheer on the best within our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who never heard of Alan Ball prior to 1999, he was the writer of the hit film \u201cAmerican Beauty.\u201d\u009d I wasn\u2019t a big fan of that film, but two years later Ball created an enormously popular and critically acclaimed series on HBO called \u201cSix Feet Under.\u201d\u009d The edgy drama pit siblings who both worked at the family mortuary against each other. Leave it to Alan to find a way to make such a depressing business fascinating and interesting. He did so on that series much like \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d by creating characters that fans became acquainted with and became invested in their happiness. He manages to make his viewers invested in the leading men and women as Alfred Hitchcock was known to do in his films. Unlike \u201cSeinfeld,\u201d\u009d \u201cSix Feet Under\u201d\u009d and \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d are shows about something. If there is one lightning rod that causes some of Alan Ball\u2019s critics to dislike him, it\u2019s probably his stance on gay issues. He\u2019s openly gay and tends to integrate many gay characters into his shows, and gives them real-life situations and that makes some people uncomfortable and they ultimately decide they hate him and his shows. \u201cTruebies\u201d\u009d as he has coined \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d fans know that television is far more entertaining with Mr. Alan Ball than it is without him. HBO\u2019s decline was not only halted but it\u2019s ascension back to the top spot is here because of Alan Ball\u2019s genius for knowing what viewers want and bringing on characters and actors who can accomplish all he tries to bring to television and films. Ashley Jones recently summed it up best. Ashley recently told Canyon News, \u201cHe\u2019s a genius. I\u2019ve been very lucky to work for Alan [Ball] and Brad [Bell]. It\u2019s every girl\u2019s dream in this town to work for them both and they make you work hard and become better at your craft. I really loved playing Daphne. The only thing that took work was the hours of makeup putting the scratches\/scars on Daphne\u2019s back,\u201d\u009d said Jones.<\/p>\n

Season three of \u201cTrue Blood\u201d\u009d is currently in production.<\/p>\n
