If you’re anything like us at Hulu Watcher, you’ve probably found yourself wondering which of the quirky residents of the Arconia you resemble the most. Are you a meticulous planner like Charles, a bold risk-taker like Mabel, or perhaps a vivid dreamer like Oliver?
Only Murders in the Building has given us some unforgettable characters, each with their distinctive traits. Let’s see which of these unique personalities matches your own!
Charles-Haden Savage: The meticulous one
Do you require the familiar structure and comfort of strict routines? You might be like Charles-Haden Savage, portrayed by Steve Martin. He is a former television star who loves to tell us about his role in the ’90s crime drama Brazzos. He tends to be cautious and a bit reserved, and he sometimes struggles to express his emotions. However, he is also loyal and dependable, especially to those he cares about.
If you’re a person who likes to plan ahead, keeps things steady, and has an eye for details, then Charles might be your match.
Oliver Putnam: The dreamer
Are you the life of the party, always dreaming up the next big idea? You might be like Oliver Putnam, a Broadway director nearing retirement whose career has seen better days. He’s charming, enthusiastic, and optimistic—even when things don’t go his way. He thrives in social settings and loves to bring people together, whether it’s for a podcast or a dinner party.
If you’re the kind of person who can’t help but dream big and put on a show, you could have a lot in common with Oliver.
Mabel Mora: The mysterious independent
Do you tend to keep your cards close to your chest and have an air of mystery that makes people want to be near you? Mabel Mora, portrayed by Selena Gomez, is the youngest of the trio with a complex past that prefers to keep people at arm’s length. However, she’s loyal to those who earn her trust and isn’t afraid to face challenges head-on.
If you see yourself as a bit of a lone wolf who values independence and isn’t afraid of a little risk, Mabel might be your character.
Howard Morris: The quirky cat lover
Do you have a soft spot for animals and enjoy a quieter life? You might connect with Howard Morris, a cat-loving resident of Arconia. Howard is friendly but shy and prefers peaceful environments with a small circle of friends.
If you love pets and prefer to solve your mysteries from behind the scenes, you could be like Howard.
Loretta Durkin: The comeback queen
Have you ever had to reinvent yourself or make a big comeback? Loretta Durkin, played by Meryl Streep, is an actress who found herself in the spotlight again after joining Oliver’s Broadway play. She is resilient, adaptable, and passionate about the things she does. She’s also not afraid to take risks to pursue her dreams.
If you’ve had moments in your life where you’ve needed to bounce back and show the world what you’re made of, you might have a lot in common with Loretta.
Ben Glenroy: The charismatic star
Do you enjoy being in the spotlight and have a flair for the dramatic? Ben Glenroy, portrayed by Paul Rudd of Marvel fame, is a Hollywood actor whose charm and charisma light up any room. He’s confident, and often the center of attention, but his life is far from perfect.
If you enjoy being the star and have a natural ability to draw people in, you could find similarities with Ben.
