Only Murders In The Building Season 1 Episode 2 Cast
Okay, let’s dive into episode two of Only Murders in the Building, season one! It's a delightful mix of mystery and comedy. We meet some seriously quirky characters.
Meet the Arconia's Finest (and Weirdest)
Episode two fleshes out our main trio: Charles, Oliver, and Mabel. We already know them from the first episode. But, here, we see more of their individual quirks.
Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin)
Steve Martin, playing Charles, is just brilliant. He’s the semi-retired actor haunted by his past TV fame. Remember Brazzos? It's hilarious!
Must Read
He's awkward, lonely, and trying to connect. He brings a gentle humor to the group. It's hard not to root for him.
Oliver Putnam (Martin Short)
Then there's Oliver, played by Martin Short. He's a Broadway director with a serious money problem. And an unhealthy love for dips.
He's loud, dramatic, and always looking for his next big break. Even if it's solving a murder in their building! Oliver adds chaotic energy to the mix.
Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez)
Mabel, portrayed by Selena Gomez, is the mysterious one. She's younger and cooler than Charles and Oliver. She's renovating her aunt's apartment.
But she also has a hidden connection to the deceased, Tim Kono. This creates a lot of suspense! Her quiet demeanor perfectly balances the others' over-the-top personalities.
Supporting Suspects and Stars
The supporting cast really shines in this episode, too. We get glimpses of other Arconia residents. Each one is a potential suspect (or victim!).
There's Uma Heller, the building's gossipy resident. She’s played by Jackie Hoffman. She seems to know everything (or thinks she does).
Howard Morris, played by Michael Cyril Creighton, is Tim Kono's overly emotional neighbor. His cat, Evelyn, is also a suspect... maybe. He is definitely odd!
We also see Sting, playing himself. He lives in the building. Could a famous musician be involved in murder? The show makes you wonder!
Why It Works: Chemistry and Comedy
The real magic of Only Murders in the Building is the chemistry. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are fantastic together. Their comedic timing is impeccable.
