I can't either. Since Season One, Titus has been Bosch for every Connelly novel I read.
I agree...
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.
Hard to think of anyone else, he is so good. Tim Roth might be suitable.
Titus Welliver is Harry Bosch. His performance is the glue of this show.

I hope he doesn't really have those tattoos. They look paler in this video. Hope they are not permanent.
I just looked it up. He has over 30 real tattoos. What a shame. Now he seems dumber than I imagined.
@@hewitc Give the guy a break. He was Special Forces! Tattoos are a way of life.
@@hewitc you aren't one of those purists are you? People can do what they want with their bodies, it's a free country.
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.
“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.
My dad and I were just talking about how Titus is perfection in this role.
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.
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.
As I have said earlier, tis is the first show in decades to make me want to watch it repeatedly. Titus Welliver is a brilliant actor and this show has given him the platform to prove that.
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.
Same here. Grüße aus Kassel 😃
Huge fan of Titus Welliver and Michael Connelly. Mr Connelly’s books are my favorite read.
.
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!
Love him. Great actor.
Indeed!
Sorry to hear about his wife

Perfect casting. I've read all the books and Titus just nails Harry Bosch.
I have been eagerly awaiting every new Bosch book since I started reading them in 1994. Titus Welliver really is what I pictured in my head Harry would be like.
Exactly....I have been a huge Bosch fan from the beginning.....and love just how the show altered the story just a bit.....from tunnel rat to Iraq vet, without screwing things up. The very first episode I remember thinking....they got Bosch!
No one else other than Titus would have nailed it so perfectly. He is our Bosch. Excellent show, Superb acters lead by Titus.
Bosch is one of my favorite shows. Titus did a fantastic job as Harry Bosch. I had no idea about his wife 💔
Good interview……my husband and I just finished Season 7 tonight, we have loved Bosch!
I've read all the Michael Connelly books and the casting of the Bosch TV series was spot on! Now every time I read a story, I see Titus Welliver as Bosch!
The very best series and character ever created, tough, thoughtful and humanistic, incredibly important creation. Well done to all involved.
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.
He is so perfect for the role. I binge the show because I can't stand to wait for the next one. #obsessedwithHarry
Best cop series.. Hands down...

Nope. The Wire.
I'd put The Wire above it for sure, nothing really touches The Wire, but Bosch is definitely top 5 all time
Hands up 🙌🏽
My favorite show
🤣
Just rewatching all 7 season of Bosch , can't get enough of it. The most underrated show out there.
I loved the series O Just saying I continued to watch the series 9 Times or more. Actors all were over and above ; so well done and believable. Woo! The camera crew the photographer was flawless! They were on time every time ,perfection ,there cameras were our eyes and made it so clear it was flawless. God Bless all that made it so entertaining and believable. Wooo soooo good !
Titus was the perfect choice to play Harry. Thanks for this video.
They couldn’t have picked anyone better for this role. I absolutely love Bosh!
He is the perfect Bosch. Not surprising. He shines in every role he plays.
I've read all the books and Titus does such a great job of playing Bosch. Really brings him to life.
Excellent choice.Titus does a great job with that role.

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.
My wife and I really enjoy the series (watching it for a second time). Happy that you got the role as it would be hard to envison another actor delivering the story. Prayers for you and your daughter in your loss. Thank you and the entire cast for providing such a great series.

Titus Welliver was perfect as Bosch. The Bosch series had got to be the BEST police drama EVER. Sad to see that it ends after Series 7.
Solid actor. One of my favorites. I binged watched season 6 in one sitting. Awesome acting
This has been the most amazing series I managed a binge watch and so impressed had to watch again.Fabulous writing great acting wish I could be that good fantastic performance THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JOSIE WELLS
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.
I tried not to watch too much of Season 6 to avoid watching the entire show in one weekend. I can't get enough of this show... I'm a big Bosch Fan!!! Titus Welliver is the only person on this planet that can play Harry Bosch. In my opinion this is the number 1 show on Amazon!!!! Great Actor!!!
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.
It's also great that he narrates the Bosch audiobooks now too.
So true! I cannot think of Harry Bosch without Titus anymore - they are almost one and the same!
Hey that's great to know, thanks!

Late to the party but Bosch has been a godsend during lockdown, Titus is perfect for that role, and the whole cast are superb.
David Hunt so are my guys crate and barrel! love their comic timing!
David, sounds like you were right on time! Perfect for quarantine.
He was a great detective
Always went by the law
Had compassion for people
From the minute this show dropped, I knew it would be great, and I have not been disappointed yet... Waiting right now for the new season to drop.
I have either read or listened to every Harry Bosch book there is to be had. The best ones are where Titus reads them. Titus is Bosch, end of story.
Holy cow I was hoping there were some that he’s read.
Bosch is a great show, Titus and others did a wonderful job...thanks
It's good to hear directly from him about his dedication to this character . This is probably my favorite Crime/Drama of the last twenty years .I only wish the seasons were released with greater frequency ...
The best cop show in the History of Cop Shows in America.
Realistic and FINALLY in LA ! Instead of NYC.
This actor makes this series. Well done.
Hollywood PD has the greatest potential of any series ever.
Hollywood is square one in the World of Crime and celluloid.
He's perfect as Bosch. Sorry to hear wife passed. Live his character. ❤
I’m so glad you got the role, Titus!! And I am so sorry for your loss of your wife.
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! 👍🏻🤗
Bosch is a great show. Connelly is a master and Titus brings Harry to life.
One of the best character castings ever
Great series .....keep them coming. Never missed an episode.
There are tv shows and there are masterpieces, Bosh is put together in a superb way. The writing is awesome, the locations and the actors! Wow. My most favorite show (cop show) was Hill street blues and Bosh brought so many hours of entertainment. I am re watching it for the 3rd time. Awesome show.
Loved hill Street blues
Man, Hill Street Blues. Old school. Ever see Homicide: Life on the Street?
@@CantankerousDave oh god yes. Great show. Andre Braugher from Brooklyn 99 was awesome in that show. Who can forget "the box"?

I just started this show. It is so good and he is so good in the role.
Good to see Titus reading real books. He's the man!!
I just fell in love with Titus all over again when I saw him with his cat~IMO a man is a real man who loves cats.
Titus Welliver is fabulous as Bosch. I love the SHOW.
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.
Love all Michael Conelly books. Love Bosch character. Titus does a great job as Harry. Love his gray cat and the fact that he reads actual books. Hope to see more of him in Bosch.
I only watched Bosch because I recognized Titus from Deadwood. Glad I started watching it. Great show.
the fit is beyond perfect Thank you Mr Welliver and Michael Connelly
That’s how I read some books , solid performance,great acting, enjoyed Bosch very much.
By far the best scripted and acted show! I binge right through every season. I hope it get another season in.
Watched season 1 thought it was good but season 2 is even better. Great writing and story lines. Can’t wait to see the other seasons. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
I love this show! I can't imagine anyone else doing it but you. The rating is fabulous along with the acting. Bravo! And a man that loves cats!
Great show please continue for more shows Titus just love it so much have watched all the seasons 4 times over and will continue to watch them over again.Please keep the show going.
One of my all time favorite shows, Titus is Bosch, got 2 episodes of season 6 to finish in about 10mins
Excellent Series! Titus is superb in his role as Harry Bosch!
Cat: hey! Pet and talk my man! Don’t leave me hanging 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Sat and did a marathon , since this flu thing , IT this GREAT ,,, better than a lot of the
crap on TV now.....Pray to see more in the near future...
J&R Nags Head
No one else could be Bosch.....excellent performance
Titus was perfect for Bosch. The dude is such a grounded and versatile actor.
Love this show. He certainly makes it easy on the interviewer. ;)
Amazing Job portraying an amazing character...RJ
Great season 6 ! I’m in the middle of it now ! Titus Welliver does a great job ....a natural . First saw him ‘Deadwood’ .
good interview
Hey everybody - Titus Welliver is BACK on the podcast, talking about Season 6! You can hear the whole interview on Fueled By Death Cast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, I Heart Radio and more. Check out this exclusive video clip from the interview where Titus gives the origin story of our favorite four-legged friend, Detective Coltrane! ua-cam.com/video/qlDJCdiPa0U/v-deo.html
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
Have enjoyed all 7 seasons. I'm anxious about the new series because he's only in a limited number of episodes. Bosch is the series. No Harry, no series.
I read a lot of books from a lot of different genres. Love Connelly and especially Bosch. Casting TW as HB was a homerun. I’ve never seen a better book character adaptation in a movie or tv show in my entire life. Only one that ever came close was the kids in Stand By Me.
We had just visited a museum with his father’s amazing art when we saw Bosch. It all made sense. Same artistic passion with restraint.
love this series. All the actors are awesome.
fabulous character

Fav program
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?
Love the show and Mr. Welliver!

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.
I friggen love this show!
Happy with his Bosch.
There will be a spin-off show coming out in 2022. With some of the cast.
Titus Welliver is Bosch. Nailed it.
