Produced by Fabrik Entertainment, part of Red Arrow Entertainment Group, for Amazon Studios, the crime drama stars Titus Welliver in the lead role as the tenacious LAPD homicide detective.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/newsletters.worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/img\/2016-08-16-SarahClark.jpg\" alt=\"***Image***\" width=\"200\" height=\"214\" \/>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>What appealed to you about playing Eleanor?<br \/>\n<strong>CLARKE:<\/strong>\u00a0Eleanor is a fascinating character. I loved that she works in a world that scares me to death! To be an FBI profiler you have to be highly intelligent and also so brave. The [FBI profiler] that I spoke with out of Langley, [Virginia,] told me about how she would sit there and have in-depth conversations with people who had done horrible things. She admitted that she was scared at times, but that they trusted her, that in some ways it was one place where people could see beyond their crime and see who they were as a person. Sometimes, though, she felt like there was no person [inside]\u2014what they were lacking was the ability to empathize and that\u2019s the sickness. It\u2019s bone chilling! That\u2019s as far as I could go to really getting inside the mind of what she had to deal with. Luckily, the first season of\u00a0<em>Bosch\u00a0<\/em>with the serial killer is much more gruesome than the second one where it was all about mob ties and what they could potentially do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:<\/strong>\u00a0What has it been like to play a character that originated in a book series?<br \/>\n<strong>CLARKE:<\/strong>\u00a0Ordinarily you wouldn\u2019t have anyone else weighing in about what [your character] would be doing! On this series, I haven\u2019t had a lot of that though actually. I had much more of that on\u00a0<em>Twilight<\/em>. I\u2019ve had nothing but positive feedback with\u00a0<em>Bosch<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the book my character seems a little grittier. Maybe they\u2019re softening it for the show because she dies so soon in the books. Clearly my character hasn\u2019t died by the time Maddie is 15 [in the series], but in the books she would have already been dead.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always grateful to have more information to help feed me. Luckily with this series, because the writer is part of the show, I can ask questions. [Michael Connelly] is very supportive of the whole process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>Did you find any more freedom as an actor working with a streaming platform than for a broadcast or cable network?<br \/>\n<strong>CLARKE:<\/strong>\u00a0We feel the difference in the production value when people are given more of a creative license. We\u2019re not feeling like, You can\u2019t do that! I had been so used to working with Amazon, where it\u2019s about, What is the vision of the story, as opposed to, Will this fly on the network? I had a situation recently while working on\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>\u00a0and that was a time where I felt creative differences in terms of what we can do on this that we can\u2019t do [elsewhere]. Usually, though, you go in and the character is the character and it\u2019s set out based on their own guidelines. On\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>\u00a0I did get to do some fun things, but I could see in the way they edited it they had to parse it down a little bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>How has it been working with Titus?<br \/>\n<strong>CLARKE:\u00a0<\/strong>Titus is great! He\u2019s so wonderful. He\u2019s the consummate professional; he really does want to make it the best it can be and honor the books. I knew Titus a little bit before. He\u2019s such a fun actor to work with. And having Michael on set really helps to keep it on a track that\u2019s exciting. I feel very blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The actress, who plays Eleanor Wish, a former FBI agent and Bosch\u2019s ex-wife and mother of his daughter, speaks about her character and the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":289,"featured_media":6540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,70],"tags":[669,1217],"class_list":["post-6539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-interviews","category-top-stories","tag-bosch","tag-sarah-clarke","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
