"Someone hands you a torch be careful which side you take." Wow! That was a profoundly beautiful story about his father. I wasn't prepared to get choked up. This is the first time an interview "took me there." Thank you... #TitusWelliver
I like him as an actor and he seems like a really good, thoughtful man. I have never, ever been interested in any of the 100's of the "police procedural" shows that have been on tv but I've watched every season of Bosch and he's done a tremendous job, very happy for his success.
I've been a total snob about American police/crime/detective shows for a couple of decades, watching only British shows. Bosch popped up on my Prime screen countless times and I kept ignoring it. Something made me try it and I was instantly hooked, mostly because of his vibe. I devoured all of it in less than a week. I can't wait for S2 of Bosch: Legacy.
Not only was Bosch the first procedural that really hooked me, but also I was a terrible literature snob who had never read a crime novel. After watching the first season of Bosch, I have now read every novel in the series.
Great actor, great person. Then, reveals one of the most deeply personal things someone could possibly reveal, as if it is just a normal thing to do. I love Titus even more than I already did.
I was shocked to hear this guy’s actual voice/accent. From Sons of Anarchy I was convinced he was from Ireland, his Irish accent sounded so authentic to me.
Titus's ability to focus on his painting, the self criticism, the level of thought, is part of what makes him a good actor. I used to be put off by his hard appearance, now I appreciate his honest, objective approach.
It's so refreshing to see a "star" who is still his old self. He seems very genuine & down to earth. Maybe that's what makes him so great in every role. Bosch has got to be his best character though. He is the perfect man for that role and with Jamie Hector beside him it's one of the best dramas on television in years.
A real man, not full of himself, we grew up in the same era, stoic father, with no filter, and yet appreciated who and where is was, it’s the stuff that real people are made of. I have to admit, I was not aware of him until Bosch. Glad there is to be a continuance of the series on IMDb May 6, 2022! God speed Titus!
I just discovered Bosch on Amazon prime. This is just a superb interview and I think even more highly of Titus Welliver than I did before. Thanks for this great interview and glad I subscribed.
Now that you're a successful actor, you have the luxury of painting for yourself. If others enjoy it also, so be it. Nothing worse than painting for someone else.
I love Titus Weliver! I've watched several of his interviews and he's such an articulte, genuine, underrated actor & wonderful human being! That's almost non-exsistent in Hollywood
Oh, I really like what he says (esp. as regards the idiot conversation he was barely putting up with!) but also about Art. Painting ISN'T about 'being good' ... it's something else. It's more about the journey itself ... and the ESSENCE that gets to come out and exist in the world.
Oh wow, I'm just now finding out that they turned Michael Connelly's Hieronymus Bosch character into a series! I've seen Titus on a bunch of shows/films over the year, but he's a perfect Bosch. I loved the books about Harry's experiences that I've read over the years. They kept me company when nothing else could.
I'm listening to Titus narrate a book, had to do a search to see the face that goes with this wonderful voice. Now I have to do a search for his paintings
I was going to say...he could do book-on-tape voicing and make a killing. I've been told I should do the same thing...still not used to getting voice compliments. lmao.
