Who are the main cast of Only Murders in the Building?
Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage
Steve Martin plays Charles-Haden Savage in Only Murders in the Building, a former TV celebrity known for his legendary detective role who spends every day digging into the mysteries of the Arconia building. The recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the Kennedy Center Honors, and the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award was a staple of pop culture. Since the 1960s, he has written, directed and performed in countless films, including The Jerk, Father of the Bride, and It's Complicated, to name a few. Steve Martin also had a pretty successful musical career, earning many Grammys for his contributions to the bluegrass genre.
Martin Short as Oliver Putnam
Martin Short co-leads the cast of Only Murders in the Building under the name of Oliver Putnam, a troubled Broadway director who befriends other residents in his building because of a common interest in real crime. Short has always caught the way to amuse audiences, whether he is appearing on Saturday Night Live, or SCTV before that, in movies like Inherent Vice or Mars Attacks, or even telling fake Bill Paxton stories on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with his unique sense of humor and excessive personality. Because of these characteristics, Martin Short is one of the funniest actors in Hollywood.
Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora
Selena Gomez brings together the major stars of Only Murders in the Building in the role of Mabel Mora, a mysterious young woman who obsesses about everything murder, who is renovating her aunt's apartment. After appearing in a number of family films like Ramona and Beezus, and Monte Carlo during her Disney days, Selena Gomez has moved on to more serious roles like those she performed in Spring Breakers, The Fundamentals of Caring, and A Rainy Day in New York.
Gomez has become not only one of Hollywood's most active young stars but one of the fastest-growing, after her performance as Alex Russo in the Wizards of Waverly Place series on the Disney Channel from 2007 to 2012.
Amy Ryan as Jan
Amy Ryan appears as Jan in Only Murders in the Building, a resident of Arconia and one of several suspects in the murder alleged to have occurred there. Some people will look at Ryan's face and think right away about The Office, where she played Holly Flax, Michael Scott's (Steve Carell) love interest for the latter seasons of the series. But, for some, Ryan will always be Baltimore police officer Beadie Russell in The Wire.
Nathan Lane as Teddy Dimas
The triple recipient of the Tony Award, Nathan Lane appears in Only Murders in the Building under the name of Teddy Dimas. Oliver is a concerned investor and resident of the Arconia building that becomes a subject of podcasting.
