Diving Deep into teh World of “Only Murders in the Building” with Michael Cyril Creighton
“Only Murders in the Building” has captivated audiences with its unique blend of mystery, humor, and stellar performances. Recently, we had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Cyril Creighton, the actor who brilliantly portrays the ever-observant Howard Morris, about his experience on the show and what fans can expect from the upcoming fifth season.
Creighton’s enthusiasm for the project is immediately apparent. He describes the set as a vibrant hub of talent, where every scene offers a masterclass in acting. “There’s always a fantastic actor in front of you in every scene,” he shares. “So even if I’m not working with them directly, I get to watch them perform, and that is also extremely satisfying.”
A Stellar Ensemble & Dream Collaborations
The show’s ensemble cast is undoubtedly one of its greatest strengths. Creighton speaks with particular fondness about Jackie Hoffman, who plays the delightfully cantankerous Uma. “We have a good amount of scenes together, but I can’t get enough of her,” he says. “I’ve known her for over 20 years. She’s one of the funniest actors in new York.”
Naturally,he also expresses a desire to share more screen time with the legendary Meryl Streep. “I obviously would love a little screen time with Meryl Streep, the queen of all queens,” he laughs.
Furthermore, Creighton is eager to collaborate with Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who plays Detective donna Williams. “We haven’t had any scenes together, and I think she’s terrific,” he notes. It’s clear that the collaborative spirit on set is a major draw for the actor.
Howard Morris: More Than meets the eye
You might think you know Howard Morris, the building’s resident cat lover and keen observer. However, Creighton hints at a hidden depth to his character. If Howard were to harbor one secret, according to Creighton, it would be his uncanny ability to know his neighbors’ email passwords.”Let’s just say that’s what he knows,” he teases. “He’s that smart.”
This playful revelation underscores the intelligence and subtle cunning that Creighton brings to the role. It’s a reminder that Howard is far more than just a quirky bystander.
