Will Ball call out bubba?

[Replies: 8]
This is my first thread so if this has been discussed before I pray forgiveness. Does Anyone think Alan Ball will introduce the Bubba character? In a way I find him very entertaining in the books but dont think it will come across well on the series? Any thoughts anyone??

Dict:
the "Bubba question" has been asked numerous
times and each time I answer the same way:

Alan Ball has said no, on the question if we'll see
Bubba~it has to do with his respect for the King,
and he also says he won't hire a 'Cheap Presley
impersonator. Another reason is the Presley Estate
holds the rights to Elvis's image":

It all comes down to the almighty dollar.

LMAO! I'm almost afraid to start a thread too. I may have missed a thread that has already come to a conclusion....but posters here were nice!

I completely understand where AB is coming from and think it only works well in the books because the power of the imagination is a far more capable of that kinda feat then CG

Stephen Moyer's natural accent is something~~But
have you heard Ryan's accent? or even Alex's:
You heard in the scenes in Dallas when the group
was in Godric's suite when he got mad and threw
the vase at STAN/Isabel!

Well I guess that was the quickest death of a thread ever LOL Thank you for the welcome guys :)

I think SM does a brilliant 'elvis' accent - I nearly passed out when I heard him talking in his native barrow boy accent LOL

Sorry, Judith~AlanBall says we're not going to see
Bubba due to the fact he won't use a cheap Elvis
impersonator~and he's got way too much respect
for Elvis's memory. The other problem was with the
Presley Estate who hold the rights to Elvis's image.
