Speaker 1: School leader with.
Speaker 2: Okay six fun oh Man Man down to change.
Speaker 1: It's about good day coming around.
Speaker 2: It's been like a cool ran coming down. Sax again,
Speaker 2: sauce again, down the Changer.
Speaker 1: From this moment, Changer, Detective Harry Bosh has moved on
Speaker 1: from the l A p D and is now working
Speaker 1: as a private investigator. That's where we find Bosh at
Speaker 1: the start of Bosh Legacy, now in its third and
Speaker 1: final season, and in this season, his daughter and now
Speaker 1: LAPD officer in her own right, Maddie, is investigating a
Speaker 1: slew of follow home robberies and abductions. And speaking of abductions,
Speaker 1: Maddie's abductor in the previous season, Doc Waller has been
Speaker 1: murdered while in prison and all signs point back to
Speaker 1: Harry Bosh as the person who ordered the hit. Honey
Speaker 1: Chandler is running for La DA and a target for assassination,
Speaker 1: and believe it or not, the intrigue and drama increase
Speaker 1: from there.
Speaker 3: I just heard a story about my dad about his
Speaker 3: time in Afghanistan.
Speaker 4: It was war.
Speaker 3: We're crying more like.
Speaker 4: She's caught me wondering what other secrets does he have?
Speaker 4: We really want to know Bosh has crossed a lot
Speaker 4: of lines in his long and checkered career. With murder,
Speaker 4: you honestly think he would decide up a prison in
Speaker 4: to murder the scumbag wobductor Madeline.
Speaker 5: It was my daughter, had skin of my life.
Speaker 4: Justice will be done one way or another.
Speaker 1: I need not tell you, but I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you anyway. The star of all things Harry Bosh is
Speaker 1: none other than Titus Welliver, who joins me now on
Speaker 1: the show. Titus Welliver, in honor and privileged to have
Speaker 1: you on. How are you this evening?
Speaker 3: I'm very well, Thank you, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that the character of
Speaker 1: Harry Bosh and you, Titus Welliver the actor, are inseparable.
Speaker 1: What has Harry Bosh meant in your life and career?
Speaker 3: Well, I will say that it's a deeply nuanced and
Speaker 3: complex character. That is what every actor dreams of having.
Speaker 3: Right do you want something that's going to challenge you,
Speaker 3: that you can grow with? And Harry Bosh certainly has
Speaker 3: has been that character. I think Harry and I I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, the source material is impeccable Michael's books, the
Speaker 3: creator Michael Connolly of Harry Bosh and we didn't have
Speaker 3: to get goofy and try to change things to make
Speaker 3: it you know, or you know, sex it up, put
Speaker 3: him in a Ferrari and have him run around like
Speaker 3: James Bond cut in the Fool. You know, he's a
Speaker 3: he has a great depth to him, and he's an antihero,
Speaker 3: so he's very human. He's flawed, he has his his things,
Speaker 3: and that's what I think is very appealing with audiences,
Speaker 3: and he's a very human character.
Speaker 1: Let me stay right there, talk more about that complexity.
Speaker 1: What do you think is most misunderstood or least understood
Speaker 1: with Harry Bosch? Is it his inner demons? Is it
Speaker 1: a case that he can't seem to solve. Is it
Speaker 1: protection of his daughter Maddie? What is it that drives him?
Speaker 3: I think they're I think they're all components the things
Speaker 3: that you just cited. But at the core of the show,
Speaker 3: I think what we what we discovered was that was
Speaker 3: Harry's relationship with Maddie. You know that he didn't she
Speaker 3: was very little when Harry and Eleanor divorced and they
Speaker 3: become reacquainted when she's thirteen years old, and that became
Speaker 3: very central because what it meant was that Harry was
Speaker 3: no longer a lone or you know, not a lone wolf.
Speaker 3: He wasn't on his own. He now had his daughter
Speaker 3: in his life. And Michael Connolly really said it so clearly,
Speaker 3: which was Harry can be gotten to now he has
Speaker 3: an achilles heel and his achilles heel as his daughter.
Speaker 3: But that also allowed us to look Harry's never going
Speaker 3: to be a warm and fuzzy guy, but it allowed
Speaker 3: us to take certain layers off so that Harry would
Speaker 3: only expose himself to a certain degree and his vulnerability
Speaker 3: to Maddie, but his expression of love for her, his tenderness,
Speaker 3: his kindness is very very palpable. And that was something
Speaker 3: that I was deeply protective of, was the nature of
Speaker 3: that relationship. I did not want it to be contrived
Speaker 3: or in any way cliche.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know that everything was was roses with them. They disagree,
Speaker 3: they fight, they they have you know, a real depth
Speaker 3: to their relationship. But that also softened him to a
Speaker 3: certain degree, but not in the way that he still
Speaker 3: pursues justice. He's still that same guy and he carries
Speaker 3: a lot of internal baggage because he's not an emotionally
Speaker 3: demonstrative guy, right, he's you know, you would he started
Speaker 3: out very taciturn. You know, silence and rage were kind
Speaker 3: of his two expressions of emotion, but that became more
Speaker 3: more nuanced to a certain degree too. He does. He
Speaker 3: carries a lot, a lot of a lot of driving.
Speaker 3: There's a there's a lot out of a sense of
Speaker 3: innate sadness with Harry. He carries a tremendous amount, and
Speaker 3: I think that's what also makes him appealing to audiences.
Speaker 3: They see a guy who is very capable, he's very brave,
Speaker 3: he's capable of heroic deeds. But he doesn't come out wearing,
Speaker 3: you know, some cliche, you know, white cowboy hat, like
Speaker 3: I'm the good guy, just so everybody knows, you know,
Speaker 3: he's a he's a beige guy. He's a gray guy.
Speaker 3: You know, he's not He's not one or the other.
Speaker 3: But he's incorruptible and he has he has a flawless
Speaker 3: moral compass. But he doesn't suffer fools, nor does he
Speaker 3: tolerate bureaucracy or political machinations getting in the way of
Speaker 3: him obtaining justice. What brings you out.
Speaker 4: See how you're doing?
Speaker 5: So far, so good? I go. I know you ain't
Speaker 5: been waiting here all night, just to welcome me back.
Speaker 4: What's the word in Moasco?
Speaker 5: Theytied Dot Waller to nobody, just rooms, unsolved rumors anybody
Speaker 5: I know, not me, not you. Look, I can't buy
Speaker 5: you a beer go tonight. I'll just mosey on home.
Speaker 4: Keep in touch, hear me.
Speaker 5: You won't regret what you're doing for me.
Speaker 3: You're in the world, now, keep it that way.
Speaker 1: My guest right now is Titus Welliver, Harry Bosh himself.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the third and final season of Bosh Legacy,
Speaker 1: now streaming on Amazon Prime. Episodes drop every Thursday, and
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you if this is the last Bosh,
Speaker 1: it just might be the best. More with Titus Welliver
Speaker 1: on the other side of the break.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Kelly one, Kay.
Speaker 6: And sixth.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for lunch. We should do this more often.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, it's just work, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Do what's on your mind.
Speaker 4: There's just there's just all these rumors on the grapevine.
Speaker 4: About what happens.
Speaker 3: Stop gossip. It's worse than a school yard ignored.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: I just turned out you know how Doc Whiler was
Speaker 4: killed and who actually killed him?
Speaker 3: And okay, listen, I would have if I could have,
Speaker 3: If that answers your question, But I did. I told
Speaker 3: you the day boarders called.
Speaker 4: I had nothing to do with it. I know, and
Speaker 4: I believed you.
Speaker 3: Then in now Kurt, Docwiler had a target on his back.
Speaker 3: The minute those prison doors clang shut and they threw
Speaker 3: away the key. You can hear it tinging down the
Speaker 3: storm drained pipe splashing in the sewer.
Speaker 5: Gross, that's a very poetic.
Speaker 4: How long did it take you to come up with that? One?
Speaker 3: Just came up with that? Be good, be good, good
Speaker 3: hunting tonight es be safe.
Speaker 1: I well, I'm right in the middle of speaking with
Speaker 1: the star of Amazon Primes hit series Bosh Legacy, mister
Speaker 1: Titus Wellever. Bosh Legacy is in its third and final season.
Speaker 1: Episodes drop each Thursday, and Titus is interesting. We talked
Speaker 1: about Maddie who eventually became a member of LAPD, and
Speaker 1: you talk about Harry Bosh, who has an incorruptible moral code.
Speaker 1: I think that sets up season three Bosh Legacy now underway.
Speaker 1: Honey Chandler played by Mimi Rodgers, is running for Elie
Speaker 1: County DA. Maddie is knee deep in investigating these follow
Speaker 1: home robberies and danger of bounds talking about that incorruptible
Speaker 1: moral code. Well, Harry Bosh might be someone who's involved
Speaker 1: with Maddie's abductor being murdered in prison. What else is
Speaker 1: that play for season three of Bosh Legacy.
Speaker 3: Well, with that, you know it takes place eight months
Speaker 3: after Maddie's intercepted that call from the prison system where
Speaker 3: Preston Borders says, I took care of that thing for
Speaker 3: your father, implicating Harry in the You know that he
Speaker 3: somehow enlisted the aid of Borders to kill Dockweiler, who
Speaker 3: abducted Mattie. Other than his wife, the only calls Borders
Speaker 3: made with his prison burner went to another burner in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: How do you know that.
Speaker 3: Using the data obtained by search warrant from the burner phone,
Speaker 3: we can determine which cell tower was closest to the
Speaker 3: phone receiving the incoming call.
Speaker 4: Okay, so which cell tower is it?
Speaker 3: Well, this particular tower is located in the Hollywood Hills
Speaker 3: above Sunset Plaza.
Speaker 4: So who's getting these mystery calls? Where is this Hollywood Hills? Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: who do we know lives in that neighborhood, Harry Bosh.
Speaker 3: And so then there's an investigation, which is called a
Speaker 3: Chief Special where they say, you know, look into this,
Speaker 3: but it's guy, it's on the it's on the QT,
Speaker 3: it's on the down low in the in a big way.
Speaker 3: And then Maddie hears a story from one of Harry's
Speaker 3: fellow operators from his days in Special Forces about an
Speaker 3: experience in Afghanistan, and it sheds a light, a different light,
Speaker 3: and so she suddenly kind of goes, I may not
Speaker 3: know my father to the to the extent that I
Speaker 3: think that I know him, And that creates an imbalance
Speaker 3: in their relationship, whereas they say in Star Wars, there's
Speaker 3: a disturbance in the force, right, And so it creates
Speaker 3: some interesting drama. And she's got her hands full with these,
Speaker 3: with these follow home robberies. That's got a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3: And Harry is very, very engrossed and myopic, as he
Speaker 3: always is, but even more so with this case, with
Speaker 3: this missing family because it involves children. It's taken from
Speaker 3: the book Desert Star, which is one of the books
Speaker 3: that we used as a source material for this season.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 3: That takes Harry into a very very very dark place.
Speaker 3: So there's stuff that's happening simultaneously, and we as the audience,
Speaker 3: will witness Harry really looking into the abyss, probably more
Speaker 3: so than he ever has. And when you know, like
Speaker 3: Harry says, when you look into the abyss, when you
Speaker 3: look into the darkness, some of it looks back at
Speaker 3: you and can penetrate you. And so I think we
Speaker 3: find Harry in a very very dark place. But he's relentless, right,
Speaker 3: He's not playing around. And because there children are involved,
Speaker 3: you know, I always say the older that Harry gets,
Speaker 3: the more formidable he comes, because the you know, with
Speaker 3: age brings a certain level of aulnerability. But in Harry's case,
Speaker 3: that's kind of he becomes like a cornered animal, right,
Speaker 3: he kind of he resorts to his primordial instincts. It
Speaker 3: just makes him very very dangerous.
Speaker 1: My time with you is running short, mister Welliver, so
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. You've likely been asked this before.
Speaker 1: I know you couldn't have foreseen that Bosh would turn
Speaker 1: into a universe where you'd have different series and spinoffs.
Speaker 1: But here we are. I have to know, and I
Speaker 1: know you've probably been asked this, but not by me.
Speaker 1: When are we going to see Harry Bosh Hoeronymous Bosh
Speaker 1: hit the big screen.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, and I you know,
Speaker 3: it's Hollywood, so I say never, say never. A lot
Speaker 3: of people ask me that is this truly the final season?
Speaker 3: There's a petition out there, et cetera, et cetera. And
Speaker 3: by the way, I just want to express my gratitude
Speaker 3: for the fans because this show would not have been
Speaker 3: on for a decade where it not for the incredible dedication,
Speaker 3: the love and support of the fans over the years.
Speaker 3: And I'm truly eternally grateful for that. Look, you never know,
Speaker 3: and if the I know everybody involved, if there was
Speaker 3: a knock on the door and somebody said, you guys
Speaker 3: want to come back, we'd be in that boshmobiles so
Speaker 3: fast their head would spin.
Speaker 1: Bosh Legacy Season three, the final season, is now streaming
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime, new episodes dropping each Thursday. I'd like
Speaker 1: to thank my guest mister Titus Welliverer for coming on
Speaker 1: this evening. Thank you, sir. I love the series and
Speaker 1: I'll be right there with you if and when the
Speaker 1: Bosh movie comes to pass.
Speaker 3: Well left, thank you, you have a blessed evening, and
Speaker 3: thank you so much. It's been a pleasure.
