Vinny Caccimelio is a recurring character in Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building.
He is portrayed by Evan Mulrooney.
History[]
Vinny and his brothers started a podcast called Ey, I'm Talkin' Here! about historical mob stories. When Charles-Haden Savage, Mabel Mora, and Oliver Putnam showed up at their house, they invited the trio inside, believing they were there to do a collaboration for their podcast. They showed off their gun/bluetooth speaker, scaring the trio who thought it was a real gun. When Johnny accidentally spilled the cup they had brought, which had a human finger in it, the brothers were all scared and begged the trio not to hurt them. They explained what they were doing. When their mother came home, she sent them out of the room so she could talk to the trio.[1]
Vinny and his brothers came to a Hibachi restaurant with their mother to celebrate Mikey's 36th birthday. When she met up with Charles there and decided to take him home with her, she left her sons to make their own way home on the bus, reminding them to stick together. When they said they wanted to play Fortnite, she reminded them they were taking a break from screens.[2]
Vinny and his brothers were at the dry cleaners with Nonna when Teddy, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver came in to confront them about the finger, which Nonna had stolen from Charles' freezer.[3] They tried to stop them from questioning Nonna, but then Howard flirted with Vinny, who agreed to show Howard the starching machine, taking the brothers away from the counter.
The brothers then came to the Arconia to intimidate the billionaires while Mabel, Charles, and Oliver confronted them. However, after they realized they were hurting more than helping, the trio sent them out.
Three months later, Vinny and his brothers called their mother, who was in Italy, to tell her that Nonna was dying. Sofia talked to Nonna on the phone and she took her last breath.
Vinny then took some flowers from his mother's garden and took them to the Arconia to give to Howard, whom he was seeing.[4]
Relationships[]
Howard Morris[]
At the end of LESTR and the start of The House Always..., Mabel, Oliver, Charles, Teddy and Howard headed on over to Clean-Ups, where they accused Nonna of the murder of Lester, with the Caccimelio boys as backup for their grandmother.
Whilst there, Howard and Vinny were looking at one another, interested in the other person. Howard ended up flirting with Vinny, asking if they could see the starching machine and that he always got it wrong whilst using such a thing.
Thankfully for Howard, it’s reciprocated, as Vinny began to flirt right back, complimenting Howard on his shirt, telling him that it’s hard to believe he struggled because the shirt looked amazing on Howard. They headed on over to the back of the business, the other brothers surprised by this seemingly sudden flirtation.
We see three months on, that Vinny is visiting Howard at the Arconia, surprising him, whilst Howard wore, according to Uma, his sluttiest cardigan.
Randall walked Vinny in and when they walked over to one another in the lobby, Vinny was holding a bunch of gardenias in his hand and mentioned that he had brought over for Howard. They were, according to Vinny, from his mother’s garden and also remind him of his murdered father. Vinny wondered if it were weird, which Howard lightheartedly told him was very weird and that he loved them.
Thankful for the gift, Howard leant over towards Vinny and they kissed. They then ended up walking out of the building, arms around one another.
