TITUS WELLIVER
(Police Office Jake Lowery in BROOKLYN SOUTH)

The son of the premiere landscape painter in the United States, Neil
Welliver, and a mother who is a fashion illustrator, Titus Welliver credits
his creativity to his parents and the many painters and poets who
surrounded him. Growing up in Philadelphia and New York City, Welliver
originally set out to become a painter, but soon traded in his brushes for
acting. In 1980, he moved to New York to pursue acting full time. While
enrolled in acting classes at New York's HB Studios, he held a variety of
jobs, from bartending to construction, to support himself.

Welliver's first paying job as an actor was in a walk-on role in the
feature film "Navy Seals." This led to other feature film roles in
"Mulholland Falls," "Born to be Wild," "JFK," "Mobsters," "The Doors,"
"Roughriders" and "The Last Capone." At present, Welliver is shooting "The
Day Lincoln Was Shot," and in the spring of 1998, he will recreate the role
he originated in the Off-Broadway production of "Riff Raff," a feature film
written, directed and starring Laurence Fishburne, and co-starring Wesley
Snipes. On television, Welliver has had guest-starring roles in "The X
Files," "The Commish," "New York Undercover," and "L.A. Law," as well as
recurring roles in "NYPD Blue," "High Incident" and "Murder One." He has
also appeared in the television movie, "An American Story," for the CBS
Television Network.

A graduate of New York University, Welliver currently divides his time
between Los Angeles and New York where he lives with his girlfriend,
actress Joanna Heimbold, and Petey, their Dalmatian puppy. His birth date
is March 12.
