Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver: Who Titus Welliver's Son Plays In Bosch: Legacy
Summary Titus Welliver's son Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver plays a young Harry Bosch in "Bosch: Legacy", showcasing familial talent.
Family ties run deep in "Bosch" and "Bosch: Legacy", especially evident in Titus Welliver's portrayal of protective father-daughter dynamics.
Quinn and Cora Welliver, Titus's children, also showcase acting talent in the "Bosch" franchise, continuing the family tradition on screen.
Fans of Bosch and Bosch: Legacy may recognize that Titus Welliver's son, Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver, appears in a key role in the latter. Bosch premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2014, and introduced the world to Hollywood homicide detective, Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch (Titus Welliver). Bosch lasted for seven seasons, but the titular characters continued investigating crimes after he retired, becoming a private eye in the sequel spin-off series, Bosch: Legacy. Also returning to Bosch: Legacy is Bosch's daughter, Maddie (Madison Lintz), now working for the LAPD like her father before her.
Maddie may be the only family member Bosch doesn't have a problem with. His past trauma from his mother's murder and his anger with his absentee and wealthy father has stayed with Bosch for his whole adult life. Family figures significantly into Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, and Bosch's protective relationship with his daughter is a key component of Bosch: Legacy. Themes of family extend into the casting of the series as well, and Titus' son Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver appears in Bosch: Legacy in a familiar role.

Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver Plays A Young Bosch In Bosch: Legacy
Titus' Real-Life Son Plays Harry Bosch In A Flashback Sequence
Close
Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver appears in Bosch: Legacy season 1, episode 8 "Bloodline", as a younger version of Bosch. In a flashback, a young Bosch, just starting out as an LAPD detective, is shown meeting his estranged father, J. Michael Haller Sr. (Clint Jordan), and his younger half-brother J. Michael "Mickey" Haller Jr. (Ettore James Baccari). Eamonn is, of course, a dead ringer for his father, and thus makes the flashback feel as real as it could from a visual standpoint.
More importantly, Eamonn effectively mimics his father's facial position, jutting his jaw out when he's angry and dipping his head back and forth, just like the older Bosch does. Titus has praised his son for his work, telling Looper,
"...I thought Eamonn really ... made it his own, but he really kept to the integrity of who Harry was, and we really see that the adult that Harry is. The character that we've seen for all these seasons, we get a glimpse into [the fact] that he's always been this guy with the same intensity and attitude about right and wrong."
Eamonn indeed does an excellent job inhabiting the character while not making an SNL-style parody of his father. When asked if he gave his son any advice on set, Titus responded,
"I was not on the set when he shot, in fact. I was not there that day, but he was in the very capable hands of the director, Ernest Dickerson, who had also shot the other scenes with my son, Quinn. He's watched the show over the years, and he's an observant actor, and he cherrypicked nuance and things that he thought were important to keep that line clear. I was very proud of him and look forward to seeing him coming back for some more flashbacks."
While Eamonn did not appear in season 2, Bosch: Legacy season 3 is confirmed and Titus could get his wish with more flashbacks.
Michael "Mickey" Haller Jr. is the eponymous Lincoln Lawyer of the novel and movie adaptation with Matthew McConaughey. Michael Connelly authored The Lincoln Lawyer and the Bosch series as a shared universe.
Quinn & Cora Welliver Also Had Roles In The Bosch Franchise
Quinn Played Child Bosch In The First Series And Cora Has Appeared In Both Series
Eamonn Lorcan Charles Welliver is not Titus' only child to appear in Bosch. Eamonn's younger brother Quinn also plays Bosch, though at a much younger age. He appears in two episodes in season 1 and one episode each in seasons 2 and 3. Quinn also looks just like his father and is an effective stand-in as the adolescent Bosch. Welliver's daughter Cora has appeared in both Bosch and Bosch: Legacy.
In Bosch, she appears as a minor character named Cora in season 1, episode 10. In Bosch: Legacy, she appears as a minor recurring character, Sam the dog walker, in season 1, episode 4; and season 2, episodes 2 and 9. All three of the Welliver siblings have the natural acting talent of their father and hopefully, there will be more of them in Bosch: Legacy and beyond.
