The first time I found out they'd made a series on TV I went crazy. I'd been picturing Harry Bosch for years. They hit a grand slam with this one. It's a great show with great actors. Thanks MC for writing such great stories.
He is just *SO* incredibly intelligent. It oozes off of him. You can tell he has a lot going on in his mind , intellectually. He's a kick-ass artist \painter, if you didn't know.
This is the absolute best Christopher Walken I have ever heard. Most people do more of a caricature, even the good ones. If I had my eyes closed, I'd never know this wasn't The Walken.
I can relate alot to his story. My brother and I also grew up in a tough neighborhood. Those of you who also did know that fights start for the DUMBEST of reasons - you sneeze and someone would go "You talking to me?" Ridiculous. Whereas my brother ALWAYS fought, I learned the art of talking my way out of fights. Thats where I developed my comedy and diplomatic skills. I was able to turn people who literally wanted to beat me to a pulp into "You know what man, you are alright". Thats whats great being kids - you didnt see race. I look back and Im like "Man, I was the only white kid on that block" but back then we didnt see color - you were either a tough guy, a punk, or "alright". Thank God I was labeled as "alright" LOL.
I had the privilege to play his body double in a made for tv movie that was filmed partially in northern Ontario. This was back in the mid to late nineties. A movie called Mind Prey.
Bosch is an average size guy so that's not so difficult. But Jack Reacher (the main character in the rival Jack Reacher book series) is described in every chapter of every book as being 6'5" and 250 lbs. But he's played by Tom Cruise who is more like 5'6" not 6'5". This is one of many reasons why Connelly's Bosch books are so much better than Lee Child's Jack Reacher books. Plausibility and verisimilitude.
I've never watched this show but avidly read all of the Harry Bosch books (plus his half brother's appearances) and they are fabulous. The drawback is that as soon as they come out, I'm finished in two days. They've introduced a female detective to continue on since Harry's retired. You used to be able to call a number and get a recording of Harry telling you to leave a message. Michael Connelly is the best author since Michael Creighton died.
both of my grandparents read the bosch books. a decent amount of the people they chose to play a role from a book don’t emulate the character. my grandparents and i think titus was a fantastic choice. my grandma just reread a bosch book and loved imagining titus as harry
Scratch a great actor, you'll find an impressionist. Scratch an impressionist, and you'll sometimes find a great actor. Scratch a Sealyham Terrier, he'll be very grateful.
Jim Meskimen you were right. I think Christopher Walken might actually be the mist imitated person on planet Earth. The people I've seen do impressions of him are endless.
Watched Bosch season 6 recently, then pretended to myself that I didn't watch season 5 so I watched it, then 4, and so I eventually rewatched all seasons in reverse order😅
Such a pity that many have no idea who this guy is. He's an incredible talent, unlike many of the "A" listers we have to suffer through. Take Markey Mark for example.
I've loved this guy for 30 years. He's done some great, great stuff. The fact that he's a master impressionist just makes him cooler. Though he calls weed "grass", I'll allow it. He had a bit part in Navy SEALS as a dick in a bar and a great role as Sipowicz' doctor on NYPD Blue.
The last few minutes with riddle me this had me in years. This guy makes the scene, hemakes the story. I loved him in Deadwood, Bosch, Gone Baby. First time was in The Good Wife and I have been seeking him from there. Painting is hard and he's good at that as well? Amazing guy! Where can I find Sons of Anarchy?
Yeah, it made me sick when Bill Burr censored that title on Snoop Dogg’s podcast. Burr is the least racist guy in the business and he’s married to a black girl. If anyone should feel comfortable with that word it’s Bill. Yet he still pandered to the PC police.
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime To each his own. To each his own. To each his own. Keep repeating this simple phrase to yourself and you will learn tolerance, acceptance and live a more positive life. Because at the end of the day people don't really give a shit what you think if you have to make such piss filled comments.
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime agreed...but good tattoos...now thats a worthy endeavor. sort of like "Bradbury's 'Illustrated Man'...each one should tell a story. these look like a four year old cut loose with a crayon.
There was a scene in the show Big Apple where Welliver is being interrogated and he does a scene from the Deer Hunter between DeNiro and Walken. Incredible. I've looked for it on YT but could never find it.
I was the bartender for a few years at the Christmas Day private parties for actress Shirley Jones and her husband Marty Ingels. And one of those parties Frank Gorshin showed up with his wife. Anyways, he comes to the bar and I make him a couple drinks, and I ask him if he's ever done an impression of Christopher Walken, and he says "You know, I never have". Peter Marshall from Hollywood Squares was at that party too.
really? no disrespect to the man, but that is probably the worst irish accent i have ever heard. it put me off watching bosch for years. glad i finally saw it. brilliant.
@@SimonKenyon Even he's said he should have prepared for it better, but that the role was just sort of thrust on him too suddenly, with not enough lead time.
Would love to hear his son's Walken impression, but I guess I just did, right or maybe it was his impression of his son's impression? Anyway, that made laugh out loud : )
Titus Weaver is one of the greatest character actors in the world. Also one of my favorites Bosch is an absolutely fantastic series with great acting from Titus great writing from Michael the cast and crew is just amazing. And the best of all the grade is actor Coltrane Coltrane is a God!! And Titus Weaver's pretty great too God bless mr. Weaver. Thank you "TITUS"🤟🤟🤟👍
In the same way I cannot imagine anyone else but Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, I cannot imagine anybody else but Titus Welliver as Harry Bosch.
Big fan of the books big fan of the show. He nails Bosch.
Huge Titus Welliver/Bosch fan. He's brilliant.
The first time I found out they'd made a series on TV I went crazy. I'd been picturing Harry Bosch for years. They hit a grand slam with this one. It's a great show with great actors. Thanks MC for writing such great stories.
Bosch does a good job pretending to be Titus.
Great Bosch. I was so happy when they created that series with him.
He is just *SO* incredibly intelligent. It oozes off of him. You can tell he has a lot going on in his mind , intellectually. He's a kick-ass artist \painter, if you didn't know.
Titus has the most marvellous voice x
YESSS. This is so good. I love Titus, and I love Bosch, so this is awesome. Looking forward to the rest!
Thanks to youtube, I've heard a lot of Walken's, but this guy nails it.
This is the absolute best Christopher Walken I have ever heard. Most people do more of a caricature, even the good ones. If I had my eyes closed, I'd never know this wasn't The Walken.
Nobody on earth does walken impression better than Kevin pollack
Love Bosch , Favourite Amazon show by far if they kept making them I would keep watching them forever. Titus just seems perfect for the character.
That sounded more like Walken than Walken! Remarkable impression. Welliver is an amazing talent.
I love how he said the Pryor title without dumbing it down. He pronounced it as it was. Much respect
YES! I LOVE HIM!
I just started watching BOSCH...and love it!!! Watched seasons 1, 2, and 3...Just started season 4....That's a great impression of Walken!

You state that as a question?

Always loved Titus Welliver. In all he do was perfect. Can't wait the second season of "BOSCH".
Lol, I like titus welliver. Seems like a down to earth guy
One of the best actors he’s so underrated
He’s wearing his braided “friendship” bracelet. I know he’s a tremendously talented actor--but this is new to me. Wow! So impressed.
Hilarious - makes me LOL 7 years after this was recorded. Bravo!
Currently watching season 4 and I noticed he wears the same wrist band even off the show... interesting
both of my grandparents read the bosch books. a decent amount of the people they chose to play a role from a book don’t emulate the character. my grandparents and i think titus was a fantastic choice. my grandma just reread a bosch book and loved imagining titus as harry
Now I gotta find this album. love these interviews.
Scratch a great actor, you'll find an impressionist. Scratch an impressionist, and you'll sometimes find a great actor. Scratch a Sealyham Terrier, he'll be very grateful.
Or any dog...
Hey Jim!
@@aidanoneill3730 Hey!
Jim Meskimen you were right. I think Christopher Walken might actually be the mist imitated person on planet Earth. The people I've seen do impressions of him are endless.
Titus Welliver, one of the most underrated actors of all time, this man is a genius.
I first saw Welliver as a guest star on 'Star Trek: Voyager' and I realized the potential that he had then.
That impression though!! 🔥
Watched Bosch season 6 recently, then pretended to myself that I didn't watch season 5 so I watched it, then 4, and so I eventually rewatched all seasons in reverse order😅

Wasn't he in one of the Transformers movie with Wahlberg
I've loved this guy for 30 years. He's done some great, great stuff. The fact that he's a master impressionist just makes him cooler. Though he calls weed "grass", I'll allow it. He had a bit part in Navy SEALS as a dick in a bar and a great role as Sipowicz' doctor on NYPD Blue.
Bosch is a good show
Really nice guy!!! Met him a few times. My Goddaughter goes to school with his kids and he was really col at all of the school events. Good guy.
Have always enjoyed Welliver.
Titus is great, always played a good wise guy, now he plays a good cop..!!
Underrated actor.!!
Love this black and white presentation, and Titus is just the bomb.
Wow, that was brilliant. Love Titus Welliver anyway, but those impressions are superb!
I recently saw an old Law & Order SVU episode with a very young Titus Welliver. Probably, 20-25 years ago. He’s only gotten better looking!
Titus Welliver fucking ROCKS!!
When is he getting his Emmy?
The last few minutes with riddle me this had me in years. This guy makes the scene, hemakes the story. I loved him in Deadwood, Bosch, Gone Baby. First time was in The Good Wife and I have been seeking him from there. Painting is hard and he's good at that as well? Amazing guy! Where can I find Sons of Anarchy?
That was a hard R.
I abso-fucking-lutely love Titus Welliver!
Love this guy~!!! Perfect Walken~!
*I remember Titus as Kyle Hollis in Life back in 2007/8 - he was in 2 episodes and to this day, that performance is incredible.*
The same Life that starred Damian Lewis? That was a great show.
@@thebronzetoo - Absolutely man, Damian Lewis was killer in that series.
He said 'pick up envelopes, drop off envelopes'. Also, he said ' all I know is that some of that money got washed through that bar'.
I first saw Titus in Darkness Falls, a Season 1 episode of the X-Files from early 1994.
"Riddle me this....." pure class!
Loved the Michael Connelly books and Titus is Bosch for me. Exactly as I imagined him.
Edit - guy's hilarious too.
He is SO cool.
Love Bosch!!! Great impression of Christopher Walken!
I did the same with Richard Pryor Greatest Hits....kept me alive in a black neighborhood....
Titus is one of the most underrated actors around.
Dude likes Deftones! That's cool!
He is the absolute best. Just great.
Interesting to see he's wearing that white bracelet that Bosch (and Maddie) wears in the TV show ...
Thank God he didn't call Pryor's album "That N-word's crazy!"
Lil "friend" was lil "nigga" btw
why would it gave nattered tho? strange thing to thank god about
Yeah, it made me sick when Bill Burr censored that title on Snoop Dogg’s podcast. Burr is the least racist guy in the business and he’s married to a black girl. If anyone should feel comfortable with that word it’s Bill. Yet he still pandered to the PC police.
He really is a great actor. He did a great bad guy on Sons of Anarchy!
Amazing actor!
Titus is fucking awesome. Bosch is such a great show.
is that a Deftones White Pony tattoo on his arm? Nice bro
Makes me like him that much more!
The Enygma
I was a bit taken back by that too... I mean Around the fur is the obvious choice
Tattoos are retarded.

Effortless Walken. Top shelf
3:45 4:28 5:03 Christopher Walken Impression
BOSCH!
I remember him from Transformers Age of Extinction.......he had his sister's name tattooed on his forearm
Deadwood. Stellar character . Talent up the ying yang
Love that he calls it “grass”
There was a scene in the show Big Apple where Welliver is being interrogated and he does a scene from the Deer Hunter between DeNiro and Walken. Incredible. I've looked for it on YT but could never find it.
It's not a bad Walken, more understated than most. Even so, everyone does this impression.
THE best Walken copy...Hands down...
He's brilliant on screen and off!
Great impression.
Gotta love Titus 👍
Excellent in Bosch!

What a performer
big fan of Titus and also Bosch. When I first saw the tats, I wondered if they were his or drawn in for the character...
Good actor and seems like a good guy
Excellent Walken
And here I was, thinking he's Irish, because I just saw him in Sons of Anarchy for the first time. 😱
really? no disrespect to the man, but that is probably the worst irish accent i have ever heard. it put me off watching bosch for years. glad i finally saw it. brilliant.
@@SimonKenyon Even he's said he should have prepared for it better, but that the role was just sort of thrust on him too suddenly, with not enough lead time.
@@MikeRoberts1964 fair enough.
I don't know why. Has much as I love Titus as an actor, his Irish accent in SOA was, frankly, terrible.
Love Bosch . please renew season 7
Love Titus Welliver
I'm glad we got another season
Mangina🤣
"I don't need heart. I need goddamn brains!"
Titus rocks !! Nicest guy ever ! Love running into him
No warning when he's going to start the impression, when he did, I was confused for a few seconds. Oh he's good.
I didnt know how cool this dude is. a fellow mimic.
Love the monochrome!
Season 6 was great! Now chomping for 7! By the way, anyone know the brand of merino wool t shirts he wears here and/or on the show?
Huge fan !
Would love to hear his son's Walken impression, but I guess I just did, right or maybe it was his impression of his son's impression? Anyway, that made laugh out loud : )
Very good in small part in Reds2
if you want to get to the impression of Walken, skip the b.s and go here 4:25
Great actor.
Protect Titus at all cost!
Titus Weaver is one of the greatest character actors in the world. Also one of my favorites Bosch is an absolutely fantastic series with great acting from Titus great writing from Michael the cast and crew is just amazing. And the best of all the grade is actor Coltrane Coltrane is a God!! And Titus Weaver's pretty great too God bless mr. Weaver. Thank you "TITUS"🤟🤟🤟👍
Hey Lazlo Toth, I got your book. Better get his name right..haha
I love him !
Damn good impression...im a Bosch addict also
Titus is one of the overlooked impressionists. He does a scary Al Pacino.
Man, Titus Welliver *is* Harry Bosch.
The Bosch audio books are great
