Steve Martin - Charles-Haden Savage
Steve Martin returns to portray Charles-Haden Savage, a former TV star who is now part of the famous Only Murders in the Building podcast which is set to be adapted into a motion picture in Season 4.
Before venturing into the bright lights of Hollywood, though, Charles spearheads the investigation behind the death of his best friend and stunt double, Sazz.
Season 4, Episode 2 sees Charles reeling from guilt since he blames himself for Sazz's death after realizing that the killer's target is him and not his friend.
He also has to deal with properly paying tribute to Sazz by finding out what to do with her ashes before the police officially starts the investigation.
Martin can be seen in Cheaper by the Dozen, Father of the Bride, and Pink Panther.
