11 Amazing Bodies of Bosch Stars

Everybody Counts or Nobody Counts. That's the motto of "Bosch." And that all-in attitude suits the stars of the show. Here, discover how Titus Welliver's martial arts discipline, Jamie Hector's unique approach to acting, Amy Aquino's commanding presence, and Jason Gedrick's wellness secrets contribute to their dynamic performances. Join us as we explore the fascinating blend of talent, discipline, and wellness that makes the cast of "Bosch" truly remarkable.

1. Titus Welliver

Titus Welliver plays the title character Harry Bosch on the original series and spinoff. He tells Muscle and Fitness that he loves martial arts like karate. “I like to hit the heavy bag and kick, and do some stretches, but work doesn’t allow me the same amount of time. It’s not an excuse, I just find myself not able to commit the same amount of time. As a young kid I was very committed to martial arts. I studied jiujitsu and eventually got into some kenpo and Krav Maga, which isn’t really a martial art, but a great combat system.”

2. Jamie Hector

Jamie Hector played Detective Jerry Edgar on the original series. He tells DScene that like his co-star Welliver, he studies martial arts. “It was a combination of all. I believe in divine intervention. I believe in drills and repetitions. So I studied at Lee Strasberg, and I also studied at Meisner, and one of the foundations of Meisner and its ways is repetition. And I really have an appreciation for that. And that’s drills, right? You keep repeating, and in martial arts, it becomes muscle memory. So if someone strikes you, you automatically block. It’s just muscle memory. You don’t have to think about it. And that’s it. The thing we don’t want to do when we get into a creative space is to think about what we are about to do when we can just exist. I would have to say that all of those principles in martial arts also apply to acting and vice versa.”

3. Amy Aquino

Amy Aquino played Lieutenant Grace Billets on the original series. She tells Spinster Sisters that she always wants her presence to be known. “Look at me, listen to me. I just take up space. I do really badly when someone asks me to be shy and retiring… I don’t do it that well and it’s kind of a waste of my energy. My energy is opinionated, it's strong, it's bossy and once you get on that train which I got on a long time ago... you know I’ve got a deep voice, I’m tall... I’m big... I take up space!”

4. Jason Gedrick

Jason Gedrick played Raynard Walts in the first season. He talked about his wellness secrets with The Chicago Sun Times. “I can’t say that I’m a hardcore dietitian,” he said. “I do manage how much fat intake and preservatives I eat each day. I try to eat preservative-free foods. I think the best health idea is to be conscious.”

5. Sarah Clarke

Sarah Clarke, who played Eleanor Wish in seasons 1, 2, and 4, talked about what she enjoys about acting in an interview with Fan Fest. “I think as an actor you always want more, I guess. But I’ve been very satisfied too with arcs that have been very rich and full. And so I do my thing and then go do something else. I think it can be sort of frustrating if you don’t get to do very much and you’re still there day to day just in the background.”

6. Jeri Ryan

Jeri Ryan played Veronica Allen on three seasons of the show. She is a prominent activist, and shares a lot of informative posts on Instagram. One cause Ryan is passionate about is gun control. She shared an article calling for gun control from The New York Times in this post. Ryan captioned it, “Front page of the @nytimes Sunday Review section today. But please, do go on about how ‘gun laws don’t work because criminals don’t follow the law.’”

7. Mimi Rogers

Mimi Rogers plays Honey Chandler in both the original series and spinoff. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Roger spoke out against beauty standards for women. “Supposedly, we’re in an age in which women are more equal and have more power and respect than at any other time,” Rogers said. “And yet we still have these bizarre pressures and expectations about looking youthful. It’s still a horrible societal bias.”

8. Erika Alexander

Erika Alexander played Connie Irving on seasons two and three of the original series. She also started her own podcast, Finding Tamika, to bring awareness to the 2004 murder of Tamika Huston. In an interview with Audible, Alexander spoke out against Missing White Women Syndrome, which is when cases of murdered white women get more attention in the media than women of color. “It's a harm that people can't quantify because most people don't know that it exists. The problem is that if this group of people thinks that they can go missing, and that no one will look, it affects their self-esteem. It affects how they move in the world. It affects their choices. It makes you a sitting duck, so it's unacceptable in any society. It should be just not even possible. We should have statistics; we should have organizations and foundations. We should have all sorts of networks systemically.

9. Madison Lintz

Madison Lintz has played Maddie Bosch on the original series and spinoff. She talked about what she loves about acting to SweetyHigh.com. “I love the challenge of it. I love how exhilarating it can feel, even in seemingly mundane moments. I love being able to throw my heart and soul into every scene. I love how there's always more to discover about a character, one more element of a scene to consider. I love working with actors who are also passionate about what they do.”

10. Anthony Michael Hall

In season two of Bosch: Legacy, Anthony Michael Hall played Will Barron. In an interview with FOX News, Hall talked about being a child star, and how he coped with the fame. "I was blessed in life that I come from a good family," he said. "I was fortunate to work with some great people who looked after me. They gave me opportunities and nurtured me as a kid growing up. I started young. I was kind of a funny kid. I had some talent, but I also had influential figures in my life who opened me up to a career, an industry. I’m eternally grateful to them."

11. Jessica Camacho

Jessica Camacho played Jade Quinn on Bosch: Legacy. She shared her wellness secrets in an interview with Parade. “I make sleep a priority. I truly need eight hours to function at my best. If I can’t get that when I’m working a heavy schedule, I’ll pamper myself with naps, which are just heaven to me. Also, I try to dedicate myself to cultivating a meditation practice. Sometimes it’s hard for me to include that in the chaos of a busy day, but when I do, I truly feel more balanced, at peace, and capable of handling stress. I’m working towards meditating on a daily basis.”

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

Sela Ward loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Facebook of herself in the pool after doing laps. She captioned the photo, “Got my laps in for the day! Can someone hand me a towel, please?”

4. Zeeko Zaki

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

6. Ebonee Noel

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

The Sinner was binge-worthy TV at its finest. The anthology series found the increasingly frayed Detective Harry Ambrose (played by the inimitable Bill Pullman) investigating a twisty and lurid case each season, as a number of sexy suspects (Jessica Biel, Matt Bomer, Carrie Coon) were not what they appeared. The police procedural anthology series was anything but boring, partially because of that sparkling cast. How did they stay fit? Read on for the wellness secrets from the cast of The Sinner.

Bill Pullman plays main character Harry Ambrose on the show. He revealed to The Guardian that he is an avid farmer, and wants to support the environment. “Fruit farming was something I did for many years without ever talking about it. I think a part of doing the orchard is just it being a very local way in which people remember their connection to the Earth.”

2. Jessica Hecht

Jessica Hecht played the other main role, Sonya Barzel, and joined in the show’s third season. She talked about the impact having children has had on her to Backstage.com. "Having kids gives you an enormous perspective. It informs your ambitions. At this point in my life, my ambition is to do interesting work with interesting people."

3. Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel played Cora Tannetti in the first season. Her makeup artist, Daniel Martin, shared her skincare secrets with Refinery29. “There's not a ton of moving parts when it comes to Jessica's skin-care prep," Martin says. "It's basically two parts: toning and moisturizing. To start, I love this Mario Badescu lavender toner because it's calming and gives the skin a balanced refresh.”

4. Matt Bomer

Matt Bomer played Jamie Burns on season three. He tells Men’s Journal that he uses food combining to eat healthy. “It’s basically all about the enzymes your body uses to break down food and the transit time from when you eat to when you’re done with it,” he explains. “If you mix a protein and a starch, it’s going to significantly increase the time it takes for your body to break it down, which can be a good thing in some situations.”

5. Christopher Abbott

Christopher Abbott played Mason Tannetti in season one. He opened up about taking jobs to ELLE. “I definitely don't say yes to everything. I didn't use to have any kind of structure. It was like, whatever is good is good. But I feel like as I get older—I mean there's no planning, I feel like there's no really planning careers—you do your best to facilitate what you want to do. And I think I'm a little bit more conscious now, like, maybe I should try and do something bigger, you know? Now it's starting to become more of a real thing. I guess there's a part of my brain that has started to think, 'Well, how can I…?' But I can only do so much

6. Chris Messina

Chris Messina played Nick Haas in season three. He opened up about overworking himself to Buzzfeed. "It was a bit stupid on my part to take on that much, and I think everything suffers when you do that much," Messina says. "I think your work suffers, your relationships suffer. Some of the decisions I was making were with only a couple hours of sleep, so I hope to direct another movie again, but I would never do that with anything else. I would like to clear the deck.”

7. Parisa Fitz-Henley

Parisa Fitz-Henley played Leela Burns on season three. She talked about navigating an intense political world to BlueSkeleton.com. “The thing that really comes out for me is that it’s of utmost importance to treat others the same way that you would want to be treated. Screaming ‘You’re an idiot!’ has never worked. No one has ever thanked someone else for insulting them as a way to improve their lives. Forget politically correct and try being kind. That would really change a lot.”

8. Carrie Coon

Carrie Coon played Vera Walker in season two. She tells The Independent that she doesn’t want to work with people who she doesn’t like. “I feel so fortunate I don’t have to work with people I don’t like! Not everyone has that luxury, I realise. Life is too short to be around a bunch of a**holes. I’m not interested in living my life that way.”

9. Natalie Paul

Natalie Paul played Heather Novack in season two. She talked about how she got into acting to Cliche Magazine. “I’ve always been interested in storytelling- whether it was through acting, writing, dancing. My biggest inspiration has always been the women in my family – listening to them tell stories, hearing them make everyday dramas to be larger than life. I was always in awe of them; I think that was the beginning of it.”

10. Alice Kremelberg

Alice Kremelberg talked about playing Percy Muldoon to The Advocate. "Being queer, I am hyper-aware of the male gaze and how my body/identity is being consumed in media," Kremelberg says. "In the case of The Sinner, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with the creative team when it came to how we depicted both of Percy's physical relationships in the second episode and how the male gaze was influencing them."

Kathryn Erbe, who played Fay Ambrose in season one, talked about what she looks for in a director to RoundAboutTheater.org. “I look for honesty. When I’m working with a director, I live in fear of people being afraid to tell me the truth. I really long for blunt honesty because you need an outside eye as an actor. I am not the kind of actor that wants to do things in a vacuum. I really love to collaborate, and I love being directed. I love trying things differently and seeing what works.”

Go behind the scenes of the popular series Narcos and delves into the physical transformations and personal journeys of its talented cast. From Diego Luna's reflections on life after Star Wars to Alyssa Diaz's immersive experiences researching her role as an LAPD officer, this glimpse into the lives of the stars reveals the dedication they bring to their characters. Pedro Pascal's mental and physical transformation for his role in The Last Of Us, Stephanie Sigman's balanced approach to diet, and Boyd Holbrook's dramatic fitness regimen showcase the lengths these actors go to embody their roles.

1. Diego Luna

Diego Luna plays Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo on Narcos: Mexico. He has also appeared in Star Wars: Rogue One, and talked about taking roles after that to The Guardian. “I was naive at the beginning. I thought: ‘Of course, after Rogue One I can do whatever I want and put it out there.’ No. You can do another Rogue One, or something of that scale, but it doesn’t mean you can go back and do a tiny film and have it released in the same way, or given the same sort of push.”

2. Alyssa Diaz

In addition to playing Mika Camarena on Narcos: Mexico, Alyssa Diaz also appeared on The Rookie. She talked about training for the latter role to BriefTake.com. “Because I’m playing an officer, I did a few ride-alongs with the LAPD. I did a couple of those and I got to talk to some female sergeants and female officers and really got their take on being female in a male dominated work force. I asked them what it’s like to date, and what it’s like being a Mom, when you’re managing being an officer. What surprised me, in talking with the female officers, was learning how much is at stake at any given moment. Your life can change in a moment. Whether you’re training as a rookie or you’re a regular officer with a partner, the people that you work with become your family. Those people have a deep understanding of your life that an outsider just wouldn’t. We also did training, so all of that helped me get into character. Plus the uniform also helps because you feel the weight of the belt and the gun and the pepper spray and the baton. Every character is a little different in how I find my way in, but really getting to their base in terms of what makes them who they are, and then I just keep building from there.”

Pedro Pascal played Javier Pena on Narcos. He also stars on The Last Of Us. To get in shape for the latter role, Pascal worked with trainer David Higgins. “It was about being mobile and strong and and efficient with his movements,” Higgins told GQ. “It was grounded in the character more than anything else. He was playing a sort of tough, hard man so it was more of a mental transformation.”

4. Stephanie Sigman

Stephanie Sigman played Valeria Velez on Narcos. She opened up about her diet in an interview with The Standard. “There’s nothing I don’t eat,” Sigman said. “I can cook, but I keep it simple. When I’m at home, I eat healthy food like fish and salad, but I have a sweet tooth and I love dark chocolate.”

5. Kerry Bishe

Kerry Bishe played Christina Jurado on Narcos. She talked about her approach to playing a character to Backstage.com. “One of the ways that I think about my being an artist and an actor is…it’s an experiment. I want to find out why you are this way, why you behave that way, why I feel the way I feel, and what does it mean?”

6. Boyd Holbrook

Boyd Holbrook played Steve Murphy on Narcos: Mexico. He also appeared in the film Logan, and talked about training for the role with Men’s Journal. “I started getting 4,000 calories a day and stopped eating carbs and sugar, which is the devil. I also cut out smoking and drinking. I ended up putting on 25 pounds of muscle.”

7. Martina Garcia

Martina Garcia had a recurring role as Maritza on Narcos. She talked about wanting to see a variety of roles for Latina actresses with E! News. “I know it wasn't easy for any of them. Sofía Vergara is another actress that is also smart, funny and beautiful. I admire them all because they're all so different. I think it's important to have different Latinas in Hollywood. There are a lot of ways of being Latina and I believe the world is starting to see that.”

8. Ana de la Reguera

Ana de la Reguera played the recurring role of Elisa Alvarez on Narcos. She shared her skincare tips in an interview with The Bare Magazine. “I go to the dermatologist a lot. I’ve been going for 14 years. I go two or three times a year and do facials, lasers, and radiofrequency. I spend a lot of money with my dermatologist and maintain with whatever he gives me. I use eye cream, toner, serum and, obviously, sunblock. My dermatologist gave me a good tip: Always refresh your skin with cold water, because heat can cause dark spots.”

9. Beau Mirchoff

Beau Mirchoff played Steve Sheridan on Narcos: Mexico. He talked about getting in shape for Now Apocalypse to AOL. “I wasn’t in the best of shape,” Mirchoff admitted. “I mean, I was in fine shape, but the script says that this character is ‘a statue of David in impeccable shape.’ I had been traveling around a lot at the time, and Gregg was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to get in shape. I was like, "How much time do we have? Six weeks? Perfect, don’t worry about it." So, I lived at the gym. I was doing two-a-days and a diet of basically high protein and counting my calories. Eating clean.”

10. Sosie Bacon

Sosie Bacon plays Mimi Webb Miller on Narcos: Mexico. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Bacon talked about her career, and what advice her parents, Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, gave her. “I think it's more a general encouragement to trust my own instincts, more than anything. I think that we are the only people that know what we should do. That's been from probably, namely, my mom. That's the best advice that you can get—check in, talk, listen, take your own kind of advice.”

11. Wagner Moura

Wagner Moura played Pablo Escobar on Narcos. He talked about the diet he was on while working on the show to NPR. Moura says that he turned to a vegan diet to lose weight for the show’s second season. “Doing the vegan diet wasn’t only about losing weight, but getting rid of that character, you know, getting rid of that energy that I was having to live with for two years.”
