Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> has facilitated countless celebrity cameos \u2014 but which stars have played themselves vs. fictional characters created for the show?<\/p>\n

The Hulu series, which debuted in 2021, follows three strangers \u2014 played by Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a>, Steve Martin<\/strong><\/a> and Martin Short<\/strong> <\/a>\u2014 who form a friendship over their love of true crime. The group ends up solving various murder mysteries connected to their apartment building, the Arconia.<\/p>\n

During season 1, Mabel (Gomez), Charles (Martin) and Oliver (Short) were looking into who killed Tom Kono (Julian Cihi<\/strong>), which turned out to be Charles\u2019 girlfriend Jan (Amy Ryan<\/strong>). Meanwhile, in the sophomore season, Poppy White aka Becky Butler (Adina Verson<\/strong>) was responsible for Bunny\u2019s (Jayne Houdyshell<\/strong>) brutal<\/a> death.<\/p>\n

Season 3 had the trio having to solve fictional Hollywood star Ben Glenroy\u2019s (Paul Rudd<\/strong>)<\/a> murder after he was unsuccessfully poisoned before being thrown down an elevator shaft. The killers were revealed to be the producers of Oliver\u2019s play: Donna (Linda Emond<\/strong>) and her son, Cliff (Wesley Taylor<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
