If you haven't watched the seven seasons of Amazon'sBosch, or the first season (and the second is on the way!) of the follow up show on Amazon Freevee,Bosch: Legacy, you're missing out on one of the great shows from the modern golden age of television. So saysme. And the key to show's success is the titular character, Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch, masterfully portrayed by this week's InEvitable guest, Titus Welliver.
We start off the episode talking about childhood Thanksgivings at the Welliver home, where guests would include Marlon Brando, Miles Davis, and John Lennon. Titus quickly informed us that despite whatever Mr. Lennon thought of his own fame, his family would play host to even more famous folks. We then go on to how Titus got into acting, his move to Los Angeles, his father's reaction to him appearing onBeverly Hills 90210, and how he became one of Ben Affleck's go to actors.
We get into his legendary performance as a road agent in HBO'sDeadwood. Also, of course, we talk more Bosch than you can shake a stick at. We also get into how he's basically a one-man Comic-Con at this point, having in appeared inStar Trek,Star Wars, the DC Universe,andthe MCU (that's the Marvel Cinematic Universe for you non-nerds). Turns out that Titus is also a lifelong car guy, and like the overwhelming majority of our guests, has recently become fascinated by Porsches. Which model? You're going to need to listen to find out!

When I was just one-year-old and newly walking, I managed to paint a white racing stripe down the side of my father’s Datsun 280Z. It’s been downhill ever since then. Moral of the story? Painting the garage leads to petrolheads. I’ve always loved writing, and I’ve always had strong opinions about cars.
One day I realized that I should combine two of my biggest passions and see what happened. Turns out that some people liked what I had to say and within a few years Angus MacKenzie came calling. I regularly come to the realization that I have the best job in the entire world. My father is the one most responsible for my car obsession. While driving, he would never fail to regale me with tales of my grandfather’s 1950 Cadillac 60 Special and 1953 Buick Roadmaster. He’d also try to impart driving wisdom, explaining how the younger you learn to drive, the safer driver you’ll be. “I learned to drive when I was 12 and I’ve never been in an accident.” He also, at least once per month warned, “No matter how good you drive, someday, somewhere, a drunk’s going to come out of nowhere and plow into you.”
When I was very young my dad would strap my car seat into the front of his Datsun 280Z and we’d go flying around the hills above Malibu, near where I grew up. The same roads, in fact, that we now use for the majority of our comparison tests. I believe these weekend runs are part of the reason why I’ve never developed motion sickness, a trait that comes in handy when my “job” requires me to sit in the passenger seats for repeated hot laps of the Nurburgring. Outside of cars and writing, my great passions include beer — brewing and judging as well as tasting — and tournament poker. I also like collecting cactus, because they’re tough to kill. My amazing wife Amy is an actress here in Los Angeles and we have a wonderful son, Richard.Read More
