[@ORflycaster]

I can't either. Since Season One, Titus has been Bosch for every Connelly novel I read.

[@lesmis49]

I agree...

[@paulsnively3377]

When I heard that Mr. Welliver had been cast, I was thrilled... honestly, not having seen him in anything but "Lost." But Mr. Welliver was to "Lost's" "Man in Black" what Christopher Lee was to "The Lord of the Rings;" "Saruman," which is to say, definitive. And he is the definitive Hieronymous Bosch.

[@richardfranklin8122]

Hard to think of anyone else, he is so good. Tim Roth might be suitable.

[@ulihxx]

Just watched series 6 during the „more or less“ Corona lockdown in Germany. The episodes were the ultimate highlights of these days. :-) No better way to spend the evenings than watching Bosch and having a little drink. Great books, fantastic actors, love it.

Titus Welliver does an excellent job playing the role of Bosch. Kudos to Michael Connelly for waiting and searching until he got the right guy.

[@judierenfrow8073]

Huge fan of Titus Welliver and Michael Connelly. Mr Connelly’s books are my favorite read. .

My dad and I were just talking about how Titus is perfection in this role.

[@jeffheino1273]

“Everyone matters or no one matters.” Great acting and brought the character to life. It’s exactly how I visualized it when I read the books.

[@Rocky_Gaming15]

I was a big fan of the books. Initially I didn’t see Titus as Bosch. But honestly he’s made it his own and he plays the role so well with so much intensity. Bosch really is one of the best quality series available. The production in every single way is complete and utter quality of the highest order.

[@pcm7315]

It's literally like listening to Bosch talk about a case. He has an effortless, projecting voice that conveys certitude: this is how it went down.

[@zacman1226]

Bosch is one of my favorite shows. Titus did a fantastic job as Harry Bosch. I had no idea about his wife 💔

[@nelevenchts]

In another Interview Michael Connelly told his side. Of all the actors he didn't think any of them could be as good as Bosch. He saw a performance of Welliver earlier and wasn't sure if he could speak up with the TV people, since he is not from that TV world, but a novelist. So he did everything to get Welliver, they went to Amazon so they can delay casting until they got a chance to meet with Welliver.

[@jonwhipple9361]

He is perfect for the role! He lost his wife to cancer like I did and I noticed he has a wonderful grey cat! No wonder I identify with him! Love Bosch!

Been a fan of Titus since his Deadwood days. He's one of the most underrated actors in the industry. Bosch has delivered every season. So glad to see him getting long-overdue recognition.

[@k.j.d865]

Great interview. Having read all the books, I wasn't sure how I felt about Titus especially being cast opposite Jason Gedrick who played the Season 1 serial killer. Years ago, a series called Falcone had Jason playing Joe Pistone, and undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the mafia, while Titus was Santino 'Sonny' Napoli. Totally opposite roles. I couldn't stand "Sonny". When their roles flipped and they pulled it off, I was hooked. Now, I think of Titus when I'm reading a Bosch book and even my retired cop friend, loves Bosch. Thanks to Connelly and Titus for finding and giving us Bosch. Glad to hear he reads and loves shelves! One can never have too many books.

[@thesloth5662]

I have read all the Harry Bosch novels. As a reader, you know that people will make up an image of how they think a character should think, talk, act, etc. and keep it in their minds as they progress through the material. It's incredible just how much Titus Welliver fits the image I had in place. Watching the shows is like reliving the books, and that's not something I can say often. It was the same way with Matthew McConaughey and Mickey Haller in the Lincoln Lawyer, too. I REALLY hope we get to see Harry Bosch's half-brother in the series.

[@ChristineVencill]

When I first saw the series BOSCH introduced on Amazon, I was literally shocked when I saw the face of Titus, the one who played Bosch! He was an exact copy of a friend of mine. We were friends a few years back before he passed away. I was a bit reluctant to watch the series because of my relationship with him, although I decided to watch it nevertheless. Couldn’t believe that while watching the complete series, not only did they look like identical twins, their mannerisms were identical as well! Very scary @ first with all of this, to say the least! Beyond this discovery, my friend whose name was RALPH MORRIS, was part of a lighting crew in Hollywood, before I knew him, plus was a fill-in on the most recent Perry Mason series along with other shows such as Diagnosis Murder. At that time he had played a dead man’s part in a body bag more times than anyone else. Even so, he liked working on the crew that did the lighting on stage for many shows best of all. Looking forward to the next seasons of this series. Makes me feel a bit like my friend is still with me again. Thank you Titus for being in this series! 👍🏻🤗

[@dennisfahlstrom7175]

Nice to see this happen. It’s pretty rare that it does which is why so many series flop so quickly. Connelly is probably the best at this type of story. His characters are so well developed and his stories have such depth and pace that finding the right guy for Bosch is the big reason this series has been such a hit. It helps that Amazon had some deep pockets and gave the production group the quality of supporting cast etc. I hope the series lasts until they use up all of Connellys stories. Tell Michael I’d like a signed set of his books as well. I’m a huge fan.

[@aggiechrismer4739]

I saw Bosch come upon Amazon and saw Mr. Welliver was starring. I turned on the first episode and have been hooked. I have Titus Welliver in a number of shows but I thought the way he played the IRA guy on SOA was so believable I began to wonder if he was really irish and part of the IRA🤔. Obviously not but that was how good he was. So when I saw he had been cast as Bosch I had to watch. Great show. All the actors are so good and the stories are absorbing. Love it.

I likely know verbatim the dialogue of not just Bosch but all the characters. I don’t find it sad because it’s comforting in this crazy COVID mess that I know what is coming up next. I have it on for the company these characters provide and genuinely care about the characters. That doesn’t happened all the time, in other shows. This is only one. All actors and all interactions are so well done and watch over and over. Thank you for such a well done series. I hope I find season 7 on Crave? New series on Crave?

[@FrankieD92]

I have been a Connelly fan for years, came in late and had to go back and catch up with The Black Echo. For years I resisted watching Bosch, feeling that it would be a warmed over redo of his novels and I had not know much about Titus Welliver. Well, I have watched all 6 seasons and everything fits to a tee; Titus is superb, the only regret I have is that we have not introduced Mickey Haller into the story line, maybe next season. BTW, Connelly gives Titus props in The Night Fire intro...

[@Deathwishcoffee]

There are two shows, Breaking Bad and BOSCH that are exceptional and are so much better than anything on else. I had a read about 10 of Micheal Connelly LAPD books before watching the seven seasons of BOSCH and Titus Welliver is perfectly cast as Bosch. I am about to buy three more Bosch books and I will have an image of Titus in my mind when I read them. The rest of the cast of BOSCH are also exceptional, J. Edgar, Jimmy, Maddie, Billets, Moore, Johnson, Chief Irving etc etc

[@kimwieslaw8339]

Fav program

[@billandrews]

Hello, this is Deputy Chief of Police MacGregor from BOSCH. Interestingly, I have NEVER work in a scene with Titus. It is always in a scene with either Jammier (Jamie Hector), who plays Edgar, or with Chief Irving played by Lance Reddick. The first episode I worked on was a night shoot in south L.A. for season 6 episode 1. In Episode 1 Detectives Marcos and Arias are murdered by the Jamaicans who are paying them off. They are found dead in their patrol car. Cops have sectioned off the scene and my character, MacGregor, is the Ranking Officer in Charge. My character has been temporarily promoted to Assistant Chief of Police due to Chief Irving being on vacation, so I'm wearing three stars on my collar rather than my usual two stars as a Deputy Chief. The Assistant Director came over to those of us dressed as cops at the start and told us to NOT walk-off from the set area, this neighborhood is not friendly to the Police we were informed. Needless to say, no one walked-off the set area. During the night long shoot, the local African-Americans were standing across the street heckling the dead actors and us pretend cops. But it lent to an amazing reality to the scene, cause their hatred was real and unrehearsed even though we were phony Cops. When Jamie drives up and gets out of his car, in his usual suit and tie, I thought HE was Bosch. I'd never seen the show so I didn't know who he was, but he was obviously someone important. Before they shoot Jamie's entrance the Director comes over and gives me his direction for the scene. He tells me to stand back here and speak to the other uniforms. "Normally you'd be over there talking to the Detective, but we want you here for now." Which means: "Don't stand there and interact with the main character, or I'll have to pay you a lot more money." The next time they call on me is in Season 6, Episode 2 at the home of the "Sovereign Citizens" whom they think have made a dirty bomb. The FBI is there in force as well as LAPD, and I'm standing in the intersection in front of the house directing everything. It is a day shoot, it is in the upper 80's, and we are all wearing black uniforms, (fortunately, I'm not wearing a bullet-proof vest like all the other cops). Everyone is dripping with sweat by mid-afternoon. I felt sorry for the poor guys who were in the Bomb Disposal suits...talk about a portable sauna... Every time the director yelled "Cut", everyone ran for the shade before it was all taken. There were plenty of cold cans of Coke drink. While baggies filled with ice-cubes were inserted in the pockets and inside my undershirt keeping my core-body temperature down. Just before lunch, the head of Costumes comes over to me and says "Tonight after wrap, don't put your uniform with all the others, they are making you a regular character on the show, so we need to keep your uniform separate." When I learned of my character's name MacGREGOR, I was wondering if it was an omen. I'm Scottish and Clann Gregor (Clann MacGregor), and my Clann (Clann MacInnes), are very close. Turns out it was a good sign. But was it good, really? Now that I'm an established character, I cannot be used as an ordinary cop on the show, the Character MacGregor has to be in the scene. So I've actually lost a lot of days of work as an ordinary cop. The last time I worked the show was in the scene later in Season 6 Episode 9, at the fund-raiser for Chief Irving's Mayoral run. Now, with all Hollywood closed, no one is working. It should get very busy when this COVID-19 passes. Maybe I'll finally do a scene with Titus, and maybe they'll call me in more...we can only hope. Be safe and well People... That is an order! Deputy Chief of Police MacGregor over and out.
