MANY actors have that one role in their careers with whom they spend a long enough time that they strongly identify with them. For Titus Welliver, Harry Bosch of the Los Angeles Police Department is that character. Based on Michael Connelly's eponymous series, Bosch follows the titular detective's quest for justice in the often cynical world of crime in Los Angeles. Welliver played Bosch for seven seasons in the original series Bosch and three more seasons in its spinoff, Bosch: Legacy. One of the most interesting aspects of the character is his constant internal battle between professional ethics and morality. Bosch often follows due process to bring justice, but he sometimes disregards protocol and follows his own moral compass to solve a case. "There are two different versions of Bosch, and as he says very early on in the original show, inside of everyone there are two different dogs fighting. There is the good dog and the bad dog. What you become depends on which dog you feed," says Welliver.
