Ball: “Blood” Character Based On Santorum
Rick Santorum may have stepped out of the limelight, but but that doesn’t mean he’s not inspiring anyone anymore. The catch? He probably didn’t want to be lionized as a deranged, bloodsucking theocrat, which is precisely what “True Blood” creator Alan Ball thinks he is. (Sort of.) In an interview with Sharon Waxman of TheWrap, Ball reveals that he thought nothing could be scarier than a Santorum presidency, a world where the likes of Michele Bachmann and company are calling the shots. So Ball based “True Blood”‘s new Chris Meloni (pictured) character on Santorum.
