OK, so I am watching Mr. Belvedere now in hopes of solving some of these mysteries. So far it appears that the family was looking for a housekeeper, and Mr. Belvedere hitch hiked from England to Pittsburgh to do that? https://twitter.com/RobynElyse/status/1262746198126936071
And like, his job before that was being a world traveler and/or professional stock photo model for tourism companies?
Yes. I'm live-tweeting Mr. Belvedere while I wait for my chicken to cook, deal with it.
"No one ever expects someone like me" — Mr. Belvedere, a fancy drifter who is very ready to move in
HOLD UP, HE'S CLAIMING TO HAVE WORKED WITH WINSTON CHURCHILL. And now he's in Pittsburgh, definitely not planning to murder anybody and very offended about being asked about his qualifications when he has stuff to put away.
"I had a mongoose once. Had to get rid of it. My friends couldn't bring their cobras over." — Mr. Belvedere, definitely not a murderer
OK so the dad is like "You are too fancy for us, Sir!" and Mr. Belvedere is like, guess I better get back on that bus I was on! And they can't believe he was on a bus, because of how fancy he is.
Oh wait. They live five miles from the bus stop and the Dad is very cool with just letting him walk to it in the freezing cold. This seems crappy but also he just showed up like a weirdo and COULD BE A MURDERER.
The Mom guilted him into letting Mr. Belvedere back in and when he went to the door Mr. Belvedere was straight up just standing there with a big smile on his face.
This man is psychotic.

They let him in and let him stay for dinner and he's making fun of their tuna casserole with "crushed potato chips" on top. I mean, not a thing I'd be into but also I would just just invite myself to dinner or try to force my butlering on anyone.
Everyone is leaving the table because Mr. Belvedere is a weird jerk.
Now he's ... spending the night? Because it's snowing? Clearly these people have never seen an episode of Dateline.
OH GOD. So the kid goes downstairs looking for his hamster and Mr. Belvedere is just sitting there in the dark, and asks him "CAN I HELP YOU?" He then claims to be doing a relaxation technique he learned from a Himalayan yogi.
TWIST. The hamster has been missing for three weeks and the kid has just been pretending it's around.
Mr. Belvedere is now standing behind the teenage daughter while she talks to her boyfriend on the phone. You know, like you normally do when you are staying at the house of people you just met a few hours ago.
ALAS. My chicken is done. But I will come back to this.
