Alan Ball may be a genius when it comes to television, so it's no surprise the creator of "True Blood" and "Six Feet Under" is in the midst of developing yet another series for HBO. According to Deadline.com, Ben Winshaw has just been cast in as the lead in "All Signs of Death," the latest project on which Ball is currently working. According to the news source, the drama will center on "Webster Filmore Goodhue (Whishaw) an inveterate twenty-something slacker who stumbles into a career as a crime scene cleaner, only to find himself entangled with a murder mystery, a femme fatale and the loose ends of his own past." The show is based on Charlie Huston's novel "The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death." Huston is set to write the pilot episode, and Ball will take on directing and executive producing duties. Wishaw is a British actor who most recently appeared in the Jane Campion romantic drama "Bright Star," where he played the revered British poet John Keats.
