In each interview, Alan Ball just seems to be one of the coolest and most humble guys ever! Something like American Beauty and SFU can only arise from true souls like him.

If you haven’t ever seen the TV series, “Six Feet Under,” do it. Superb Alan Ball genius and great actors.

Anyone ever notice that Alan Ball looks like a cross between Kevin Spacey and Chris Cooper(Colonel Fitts)?

[@samsong24]

This was really good! Thank you for letting it be on you tube! I didn't see American Beauty when it came out, I just watched it for the first time now, in September 2022, on Netflix. Amazing.

Six Feet Under and True Blood are my life. Thanks to this genius. My favorite women he created: Brenda Chanowith, Claire Fisher, and Sookie Stackhouse.

"What ever happened to that girl who used to fake seizures at frat parties when she got bored?", said Lester to Carolyn. That was something Alan used to do when bored.
