Whereas Bosch grew up in Los Angeles, and later served on the police force of his home city, Keenan is from the Hell\u2019s Kitchen neighborhood of New York, and is an officer for the NYPD.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to hailing from opposite sides of the United States, the two cops have very different ideas about morality. Bosch is an implacable adherent to truth and justice. He can\u2019t stand liars, and stops at nothing in his pursuit of what he believes to be right. Keenan, on the other hand, has a hard time telling right from wrong.<\/p>\n<p>He has a particular soft spot for the leader of the Westies, the Irish street gang in his local neighborhood, as its leader Eamon Sweeney was his childhood friend. This soft spot means that Keenan is inclined to let Sweeney\u2019s gang get away with actions he knows are criminal.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s grown up in an environment where the law appears to be a gray area, and as a lowly, middle-aged beat cop he has no real reason to believe in the job he\u2019s doing anymore. However, Keenan\u2019s police department is inevitably going to test his loyalty to the badge at some stage, meaning that he\u2019ll have a tough decision to make.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"glenn-keenan-is-welliver-rsquo-s-best-post-bosch-role-so-far\">\n                        Glenn Keenan Is Welliver\u2019s Best Post-Bosch Role So Far<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"JK Simmons and Titus Welliver at a bar in The Westies\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jk-simmons-and-titus-welliver-at-a-bar-in-the-westies.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">JK Simmons and Titus Welliver at a bar in The Westies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Titus Welliver hasn\u2019t departed the <em>Bosch<\/em> franchise just yet, but his role in it is becoming increasingly marginalized.
