All About Titus Welliver
Welliver was born on March 12, 1962, in New Haven, Connecticut, into an artistic family, his father Neil being a famous landscape painter and his mother Norma a fashion illustrator. He grew up in both Philadelphia and New York City. He attributes much of his artistic growth to the milieu in which he grew up. Titus Welliver aspired to be a painter like his father but instead chose to pursue acting. In 1980, he relocated to New York to follow his vocation. He enrolled at HB Acting Studios while attending New York University and worked odd jobs to make ends meet. His hard work paid off when he was hired as a Navy Seal (1990). For the actor, this was only the beginning.
He soon started performing in films on a regular basis, in addition to his stage work. Among his early credits are The Doors (1991), JFK (1991), and Matlock (1991). (1986). His stage career included a number of shows, including American Buffalo. He has appeared as a guest star on many TV programs, including The Commish and L.A. Order. He received a part on Steven Bochco’s Brooklyn South after a few years of recurrent appearances (1997).
Since then, he has been in a variety of TV programs, including Sons of Anarchy, The Good Wife, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. His most well-known TV role came in 2014 when he was cast as LAPD Homicide Detective Harry Bosch in Bosch (2014). After seven seasons as the legendary character, he reprised his role in Bosch: Legacy. Titus Welliver is said to have a net worth of roughly $4 million.
Aside from Welliver’s towering presence in the forthcoming Titans season, the entrance of Lex Luthor is guaranteed to generate enough chaos in Superboy’s existence. Greg Walker, showrunner, commented on the development:
“He’s explored his Superman self, but not his Lex self, and what does it imply when you do?”
Walker told Entertainment Weekly about hiring Titus Welliver:
“Normally, you have to do this whole dog-and-pony show to get an actor to do the show, but when I called to kind of entice him in, I couldn’t get a word in. We were talking on the phone, and he was just walking through his library, telling me about all his Wolfman/Perez Titans editions. He’s a giant, giant fan. He’d watched every episode of the show and could tell me about certain stories, certain shots. It was
