Who is Oliver Putnam in Only Murders in the Building?
The director between triumphs — far between · The Podcast Trio
Oliver Putnam (The director between triumphs — far between) is a character in Only Murders in the Building, part of The Podcast Trio. Oliver Putnam directed Broadway once, catastrophically (Splash! — the musical, the fountains, the lawsuits), and has been living on dips, charm and unpaid Arconia maintenance fees ever since. The podcast is, characteristically, his idea: a production, with himself directing the investigation like a second act in need of punch. Oliver narrates his own life in show-business anecdote — half of them even true — and beneath the scarves runs the series' warmest engine: a man who simply cannot stop putting on the show.
