Detective, wizard, fireman, demon - it's hard to remember the image that the American Titus Welliver never tried on. The actor owes his popularity primarily to series, although there are some good film projects with his participation. By his 54 years, this man, who once dreamed about the glory of the artist, managed to star in almost a hundred paintings. What interesting details can you recall about his career, childhood and youth, his personal life?
Titus Welliver: Childhood
The boy, who was to become a famous actor, was born in the US state of Connecticut, this happened in 1961. Titus Welliver from an early age was in the company of people whose professional activities are directly related to creativity. It is not surprising, because his father was a talented artist, whose landscapes at that time were very popular. The mother of the child, who worked as an illustrator in glossy magazines, also had the ability to draw.
Of course, Titus Welliver in his childhood dreamed not about the acting path. He admired his father, intended to continue his journey and become a famous artist. However, acquaintance with the theater as a teenager gave the young man a new passion. While still at school, he began to attend theater courses, gaining his first skills in playing on stage.
Student time
Determined to become an actor, Titus Welliver, having graduated from high school, moved to New York, rightly reasoning that he would have more chances to achieve success in a megalopolis. On the first attempt, he became a student at one of the local theater studios. In his free time, the guy constantly earned money, trying to gain complete financial independence.
Assistant cook, waiter, construction worker, salesman - what kind of activity the young man did not master in those years. The actor himself with pleasure recalls the years of college, absolutely does not regret the time spent on work. The constant change of activity, according to his words, enabled him to better understand the human race, to strengthen his spirit and body. But changing temporary professions, Titus did not forget about his main goal, which was to shoot a movie. And the first role, of course, was not long in coming.
First successes
In 1990, an actor such as Titus Welliver first appeared on the big screen. The filmography of the American star began with the drama "Seals". Despite the experience gained by the guy while working in amateur theaters and training, he was entrusted only with participation in the episode. The first character of Titus was the unappealing redneck from the bar, which was quickly put in place.
It is interesting that Welliver did not succeed at all thanks to these film projects. After "Seals" he starred in the films "Rock Mulholland", "Dorz", but they did not give him fame. For the first time, they started talking about a beginner actor after the release of the popular telenovela "Deadwood", in which he played Silas Adams. His first bright work was awarded the prestigious Screen Actors Guild Award. After that, the young man began to receive one interesting offer after another from the creators of various series.
The most famous roles

The American is well known to fans of the television saga "Supernatural", in which he perfectly played the role of the demon of War, which is one of the famous Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
One cannot fail to tell about the work of Welliver in the television project "Lost", which won the hearts of millions of viewers. Titus effectively appeared in the last season of science fiction, playing a small but important role. Its character was the mysterious spirit of the island, known as "black smoke".
Those who like the actor should definitely watch the series “Communication”, in which he also received a vivid role. Welliver’s hero is Randall, a firefighter. The character did not have time to save the young woman who suffered from the terrorist attack in a timely manner, guilt does not cease to haunt him. The image created by the American star in the television project "Bosch" is also interesting. The character of the actor in this series is Detective Harry, who is chasing after the criminals who killed a 13-year-old teenager.
A family
Titus Welliver, whose photo can be seen in this article, like most creative people, does not belong to the category of monogamous people. Interestingly, the actor entered into official marriage four times. Only one thing is known about the first wife - her name is Heather, the relationship ended in divorce. The second wife was a little-known actress Joanna, who gave birth to a star with two sons, named Imon and Quinn, the couple also broke up. The only daughter of the American actor Cora appeared in his third marriage, unfortunately, his wife died in 2012.
