Family on Bosch: Titus Welliver and Madison Lintz

In this clip from Fueled By Death Cast, Titus Welliver talks about working with Madison Lintz on Bosch. Detective Harry Bosch is not a perfect father, and the character of his daughter Maddie has evolved over six seasons. Titus talks about how rewarding it is to work with Madison on the show, and how he torments her a little too.

That trust shows in the episodes. There really does seem a father / daughter relationship in the show. Great show, wonderful actors. Great work! 👍😁

[@chriskelly6559]

Need 20 episodes per season, minimum. All time fave show. Binging tomorrow.

[@clintoncollier]

Maddy is definitely one of my favourite characters on the show and I've really enjoyed watching their relationship grow over time. Thank you for some many great moments..

[@Pesadilla.Verdadera]

Her storyline is boring and useless and actress is unprofessional

[@edsalkeld2752]

The bond between those two is fantastic.

[@Abhisheksingh-or1dy]

I really wish Amazon extends the show for 10 seasons

[@cherylkemp8954]

...that would be perfect...😊

[@sthegpc2439]

Read recently season 7 is the final one.

[@tintinismybelgian]

@@sthegpc2439 Better to end well than to end later.

[@weisheit9731]

I thought they will do 8?

[@kabar13]

I would love to see the series to evolve to a feature file or amazon bring the show back every so often as a limited 2 part 2hr event....however keeping the series going would be my 1st choice. Fantastic series.

[@selwynandrews9665]

Someone commented in another Bosch-related video that a relative they watched the show with rolled their eyes whenever Maddie appeared! But I've never felt that. Always seemed like the relationship had a depth and reality to it, and that Madison Lintz and Titus Welliver did great work in bringing these two to life. Long may it continue!

[@peetky8645]

In the books, neither mom or dad are fountains of emotion. apple and tree thing.

[@franciscojavieraguado760]

That father and daughter relationship is, by far, the best of the whole show. Just, extraordinary. A real pleasure.

[@Pesadilla.Verdadera]

It's the most boring and useless storyline

[@AjitKumar-tq5nj]

I love the very special interaction between Daddy and Mandy. Not exhibiting love openly yet communicating directly from their hearts. This makes their love great to experience. I wish to watch more episodes.

[@agentred8732]

Ajit Kumar “Mandy”? Have you *seen* the show?

[@AjitKumar-tq5nj]

Red Agent , Sorry man , it’s Maddie . Never missed any episodes 😀

[@billsheehan4244]

The best crime show on TV. Sorry to see it go. Each character is superbly done. It would be orgasmic to see it run longer. Bosch has been my favorite to read for years. Never gets stale.

[@brianjoyce9040]

Any Bosch stuff is top shelf. Great show, nice interview of Titus

[@teasersmuchee]

I want more of Bosch, best series since 24. Love Titus

[@rapscallion3506]

I believe these two characters have great, realistic interactions throughout the whole series.

[@KizzieWiz]

I loved the books and Titus looked exactly what I thought Bosch would look like. More please! There’s lots of books!

[@TheODLawson23]

Madison Lintz, who is best known for Sophia, TV series "The Walking Dead". Most people recognize her as a Sophia walker (zombie). She played the version of human Sophia in season 1 and 2 of The Walking Dead.

[@Bobbotov]

Really, really fantastic show. I have enjoyed every episode. All of the actors are excellent.

[@chriskelly6559]

So damn right! Bingeing tomorrow!

[@richardclarke376]

when I saw the character had a daughter I was like 'ohhhhhhh shit.... she's going to get into dumb situations and Harry will have to get her out of it'...... was I ever wrong.... Maddie is a brilliant character and and Madison Lintz is a phenomenal actor. What an amazing job Michael Connell, the other writers and Titus did on this series

[@peetky8645]

having read the books - lost light is my favorite - I think the casting is right on except for titus. He has done a good job, but the character was very different in my mind

[@csmelen]

Just finished watching season 6 on Amazon. Looking forward to season 7 in the near future.

[@stevegordon8474]

It has been a great pleasure watching the online relationship of these two characters develop. But it wouldn't be nearly so interesting if Lintz were not a very good actor in her own right. One thing I have noticed about her acting is that her responses are attuned to her character of Maddie, not just as Bosch's daughter but as the person her character is. The Maddie character is one of sympathy, independence, and intelligence and this is how Lintz conveys her in her reactions to the other characters. It's been interesting to watch her grow up on screen and Titus has a primary view of his screen daughter. Bosch supports his daughter's decisions in the same way that Welliver supports Lintz' acting decisions. It's been special to see Lintz develop her character as a teenage girl into adulthood. It reminds me a little of watching Johnny Crawford with Chuck Connors in RIFLEMAN or Tony Dow and Jerry Mathers develop their characters in reference to Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont in LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, and it may partly explain why actors as parental characters of childhood actors add an extra dimension and longevity to such shows featuring these relationships. In the past, many excellent child actors were not "allowed" to grow up by their audiences but the Maddie Bosch character has finally bucked this trend and we are seeing Lintz make the transition to an adult actor as well. It's a shame that in the past a lot of great television actors were not able to transition to films (one of the greatest, television's first method actor, Vic Morrow in COMBAT, found his career stalled when he tried to return to film work) but the new platforms have finally removed the stigma of being what was once referred to as a "television" actor.

[@marcorumbin6716]

Love the show also the books. Wish they would extend the show

[@conradmadden8441]

One of my favourite shows

[@annettesargent9362]

Great interviews!! Love the show and actors!

[@HenryChinaski614]

Titus is one of the best ever.

[@BadFluffy]

You can tell Titus is a big reason the show has side stepped the usual father daughter relationship where she is just there to be in danger or to be an annoying obstacle in her dad's storyline. They really work well together

[@sw9163]

I love this show. Especially when they came to Vegas and shot scenes in my favorite mexican restaurant. Don Juan on main street

[@ninaborovsky5145]

Thanks for this.... You're the stuff, Cookie Welliver... I gotta go to work..be safe

[@Hal_T]

Only one more season. Much too soon to go. I want more!

[@chriskelly6559]

And after more, More!

[@ninaborovsky9992]

Rev. Bosch!!! Love you, Det. Borovsky!! Thanks Titus, and thanks Mads!! What a great Cop!!

[@dave-d-grunt]

I came to this show in 2019 just before the 5th (?) season started. Heard about it on Rush Limbaugh’s show. Binged the prior seasons. Just finished the 7th. Sad because it’s the last season. I have heard there’s going to be a spin off.

[@GFM1980]

I love this serie....I hope we could see Mickey haller in the series one time or maybe Mickey haller could get his own series

[@calablanca]

Got addicted to Bosch

[@chriskelly6559]

When it's over I'll have to go to rehab.

[@joebarbjb6668]

The Harry Bosch in the novels would be about 75 years old. I’ve enjoyed every Connelly book for thirty years.

[@bettyferrier6122]

I too wish there were more episodes of "Bosch"..I have read all of Michael Connelly's "Bosch" books only recently finding out about the TV series. Although some of the storylines are a little different....I thoroughly enjoy "Harry's" morals and his character... As well I enjoy all of the actors LT Billet...Jerry Edgar...etc! Even the audacity of Honey Chandler..😊😊

[@bettyferrier6122]

Not forgetting Maddie! Love her too! Sad they killed Eleanor Wish though..😥

[@michaelender]

Thought Madison was hot went down the old rabbit hole and learned she's Carol's daughter from the Walking Dead. Now I feel dirty and old 😑

[@michaellalli7693]

I hope Amazon creates a new series for Bosch and detective series.

[@susanbucnis9440]

I miss working with you, uncle mickey

[@2old2pogo]

I think she's a great actress. I wish they'd both smile a little though.

[@ninaborovsky5145]

Thank Mimi... ,😝🕵️🗽

[@getezra1]

I really don't think the relationship between Bosch and his daughter as father daughter rather it feels more like professional. daughters are more relaxed around their father. 'that's my take'

[@Rafael-qd3yq]

Titus explained it. Harry wasn't in her life. He is Finding himself

[@carlhsieh2615]

Don't like the actor who plays Antonio in the show he's too short 😱😆

[@bobmcrae5751]

The series needs less Maddie Bosch and more Barrel and Crate.

[@monoped8437]

i've seen barrel guesting on some sitcoms.....too funny

[@zigwil153]

I literally skip every scene she’s a lead in.... her acting is so unnatural it gives me the willies....

[@peetky8645]

her dad was absent for the first 4 years of her life and her mom got shot dead while she is in high school....she seems stunted and traumatized in the show. I think she is playing how they direct.

[@zigwil153]

@@peetky8645 so, she was singled out to act like she’s never acted before? That was the intent? Something tells me she had some inside track.... a relative or something.

Jesus lose the west man mountain look

[@tintinismybelgian]

Why?

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Titus' comments make me even more disappointed with the veeeery underwhelming season 6. They criminally underused Maddie and Madison. I hope the next and last season will do her justice... more of them together, less bullshit subplots no one gives a shit about.

[@dihett]

I LOVED all of Bosch, but really didn't love the storylines for season 6.

[@Pesadilla.Verdadera]

Storyline with his daughter-that's the most boring ridiculous and useless plot in all seasons.

[@patriciaeisert8483]

I find her portrayal of Maddie very annoying. She talks in very clipped cadence that just makes me crazy. Love everyone else, I.e. Crate and Barrel!

[@jayepaul22]

Patricia Eisert she may as well be reading a dictionary, very stilted and the moment she opens her mouth she loses me. Titus is being very generous in his praise

[@peetky8645]

crate and barrel are a hoot. The head of detectives getting burned by her past office romance was good writing and well acted. The chief was a surprise. I always thought he might end up as bosch's dad in the books. Casting him as a black guy was unexpected but he has done very well with the character as written. He is much more of a nemesis to bosch in the books. On tv he is just a slightly corrupt official.

[@truthseeker2220]

lintz is the weak link in this series

[@MjRthilla]

truth seeker definitely!!

[@reccesixty6322]

Totally agree, TS.

[@kiheirc3195]

I Consider the Maddie character a distraction from how good the show could be mediocre actress My least favorite part of this great show adding nothing to the storyline

[@Ace1King1]

How do you feel about Coltrane?

[@julieredmond5192]

kihei rc I love Maddie!!!
