After ten years playing tough cop-turned-private detective Harry Bosch on Amazon, Titus Welliver knows his character. And he’s not afraid to speak up when creative decisions are taking a wrong turn:
“I said to the guy, ‘That's a very cool car, but Harry Bosch would never drive that car.’” Explains Welliver. “Of course, they looked at me like I was out of my mind. And I said, ‘This is a guy who doesn't want to be seen, and that car draws too much attention.’ Titus would love to drive that car around. It's like a clarinet on wheels. I mean, it's so sexy.”
Welliver chats with NPR’s Eric Deggans about his journey from supporting roles on police procedurals, to portraying Bosch for a decade. He opens up about his reaction to learning that the spinoff series, Bosch: Legacy was being abruptly cancelled after three seasons. Plus, he shares how he put his executive producer credit to good use.
