BoJack Horseman

Main article: BoJack Horseman (character)

BoJack F. Horseman (voiced by Will Arnett; born January 2, 1964, in San Francisco, California) is a self-loathing, alcoholic, anthropomorphic horse currently in his 50s. His acting career peaked when he starred in a successful family sitcom called Horsin' Around in the 1990s. He went on to star in The BoJack Horseman Show, an edgier, less successful sitcom which was cancelled in 2007 after just one season. Though he began as a young bright-eyed actor, he has since grown bitter, deeply depressed, and jaded about Hollywoo and who he has become post-fame. BoJack has been shown to be caring and insightful, but his insecurities, loneliness, and desperate need for approval often result in self-destructive actions that devastate those around him. Many of his issues stem from his alcoholism, drug abuse, poor career decisions, and trauma from his neglectful and unsupportive parents.

Earnest and unflagging, Princess Carolyn was a top agent at Vigor agency through her dogged pursuit of new talent and large network of odd personal connections. Though she struggles to find a balance between work, her troubled personal life, and taking care of BoJack and her friends, she enjoys her fast-paced hectic lifestyle. She left Vigor to start a new agency with her then-boyfriend and coworker Rutabaga Rabitowitz. After recognizing his lack of trustworthiness and confronting her fear of being alone, she ultimately decides to leave him and run the new company named VIM by herself. After several setbacks, Princess Carolyn closes VIM in season 3, only to reopen it as a management agency. She struggles throughout the series with starting a family, but frequently suffers miscarriages.

Diane Nguyen (voiced by Alison Brie; born March 19, 1980, in Boston, Massachusetts) is a human ghostwriter; a nice, well-reasoned, misunderstood intellectual; and a Vietnamese-American third-wave feminist from Boston who used to live with her rich and famous ex-boyfriend (and later ex-husband), former sitcom star Mr. Peanutbutter. She is hired by BoJack's publisher to ghostwrite his memoir, having written a biography of BoJack's childhood hero, Secretariat. While writing BoJack's memoir, he and Diane initially develop a strong friendship that becomes increasingly awkward and strained after BoJack develops romantic feelings for her. She has struggled throughout her career to get recognition for her writing, and travels to the war-torn Republic of Cordovia to make a difference, but returns after discovering Sebastian St. Clair, the supposed humanitarian who invited her there to write about his work, is an egomaniac who does not actually care about helping people as much as he cares about his legacy. Ashamed of returning to Mr. Peanutbutter, she enters into a severe depression, during which she drinks heavily, smokes pot, and sleeps disheveled on BoJack's patio furniture. She is able to reconcile her feelings with Mr. Peanutbutter and gets a job at VIM ghostwriting tweets for celebrities. She is subsequently fired from VIM, and is hired to write for a feminist blog. During and after Mr. Peanutbutter's run for Governor of California their marriage begins to deteriorate and, at the beginning of season 5, they divorce.

She begins writing a new memoir that leads her back into her recurring depression. She combats this with antidepressants (which itself leads to a noticeable weight gain) but these stall her progress on her memoir, which she eventually abandons in favor of a teen fiction series called Ivy Tran: Food Court Detective. She eventually moves to Houston with Guy and is revealed in the series finale to have married him. She ends the series having what will seemingly be her last conversation with BoJack, telling him that she is grateful that she knew BoJack and for her life in LA, but that she is ready to move on.

Mr. Peanutbutter (voiced by Paul F. Tompkins; born August 20, 1969) is an energetic and cheerful yellow Labrador Retriever who is BoJack's former sitcom rival and Diane's ex-boyfriend (and later ex-husband). Mr. Peanutbutter was the star of Mr. Peanutbutter's House, which, according to BoJack, "borrowed the premise" from Horsin' Around. He portrays many characteristics of an actual Labrador yet portrayed as a human-like character being sweet, loyal, kind, playful, and considerate. He had a stint at filming a celebrity reality show called Peanutbutter and Jelly. Despite their rivalry, Mr. Peanutbutter cares a great deal about BoJack's opinion and admires him for his work on Horsin' Around. He has an especially good relationship with Todd, and his positive attitude and financial resources combined with Todd's outlandish schemes and plans often result in the two starting questionable business ventures, such as a Halloween store that is exclusively open in January. In the episode "Let's Find Out", Mr. Peanutbutter starts hosting his own televised game show named Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let's Find Out! after his film company enters bankruptcy due to his and Todd's extensive expenditures on useless products. In "Hank After Dark", it is revealed that Mr. Peanutbutter was formerly married to a woman named Katrina who was emotionally abusive. His second wife was famous actress Jessica Biel, who is portrayed as being obsessed with her celebrity status and people recognizing her. He grew up in the Labrador Peninsula, which is depicted as being populated entirely by Labrador Retrievers. "Mr." is his actual first name. He often shouts to an offscreen, but implicatively outlandish, presence only known as "Erica". He is a graduate of Northwestern University. After his divorce with Diane, he started dating a pug named Pickles who is much younger than him but shares a lot of the same characteristics. At the end of the season 5 finale, he proposes to her, though only out of guilt after cheating on her with Diane. He does eventually tell Pickles of his infidelity which leads to the joint decision that for them to be even she must sleep with other men and him be fine with the situation. He later becomes the face of depression on a tour around the US talking about the mental illness with pop star Joey Pogo. During this time, he encourages Pickles to sleep with Joey Pogo due to their similarities, however this eventually backfires when Pickles leaves Mr. Peanutbutter for Pogo. He ends the series as a star of a widely successful TV show "Birthday Dad", and pays to restore the "D" in the Hollywood Sign (however he accidentally orders a "B", renaming it "Hollywoob" as referenced by Princess Carolyn). Mr. Peanutbutter also reveals to BoJack that he is happily single and in therapy working through his addiction to relationships and co-dependency.

Todd Chavez

In-universe information
Species	Human
Family	Jorge Chavez (step-father) Helen Chavez (mother)

Todd Chavez (voiced by Aaron Paul; born April 15, 1991) is a friendly and lovable human slacker who ended up at BoJack's house for a party five years before the beginning of the series and never left. Although BoJack constantly voices disdain for him, he secretly cares about Todd, continuing to financially support him and sabotage his attempts to gain independence. Todd has been shown to possess a plethora of skills including an understanding of Japanese; entrepreneurial know-how, having allied with Mr. Peanutbutter for various business ideas; and writing and composing his own rock opera, Newtopia Rising, Book I: The Search for a New Utopia. His rock opera was eventually sabotaged by BoJack, who took advantage of his former addiction to video games. Todd puts the pieces together of what BoJack did string map style and begins to question his friendship with BoJack. Todd also has an uncanny knack for getting himself in absurd and extremely dangerous situations when his friends are not around, such as getting into gun fights on several occasions, ending up in prison, and in one case switching places Prince and the Pauper-style with a dictator from Cordovia, a fictional eastern European country in the midst of a brutal civil war. Todd's friendship with Mr. Peanutbutter landed him various jobs creating seemingly useless products. He sees the best in BoJack, despite his multitude of problems, up until "It's You" in season three, where he finally snaps at him for his constant misdoings; it is not until the season four episode "Hooray! Todd Episode!" where they finally speak again, with the now-humbled BoJack having a sincere talk with him. He is usually happy, even when being insulted by BoJack. His catch phrases include shouting "hooray!". He is also almost never seen without wearing his signature yellow beanie. In the 2000s, he was an aimless skateboarder, and the object of affection of his schoolmate, Emily. It is revealed in the season 3 finale "That Went Well" that he is asexual who is sex-repulsed. In season 5, he gets a management position at a clock website company called "What Time Is It Right Now", but then he gets laid off at the end of season 5. In season 6 episode "The Kidney Stays in the Picture", he gives one of his kidneys to his mom who is in desperate need of one. He later begins a relationship with Maude, an asexual rabbit cashier at an airport Cinnabunny, and they quickly move in together, sharing an affinity for quirky, outlandish ideas. He also reconnects with his mother after several failed attempts catching her attention after staging a fake kidnapping by Character Actress Margo Martindale. At the end of the series, Todd reconnects with BoJack at Princess Carolyn's wedding, revealing that he has made up with his mother and enjoys a comfortable life with Maude and his daycare service which he runs in the VIM Management building. He encourages BoJack to keep up his sobriety and shares an insight about art that leads BoJack to say with affection, "Is that smart or stupid?" and Todd to gleefully say, "I never know!"

Recurring characters

Pinky Penguin

Pinky Penguin (voiced by Patton Oswalt) is an Emperor penguin and book editor who works at Penguin Publishing. He was depending on BoJack's book to save his job and the entire company. In "Yesterdayland", Pinky started working at MBN. At the end of "Later", it is revealed he was able to see his kids again. After Wanda moves to Detroit, he becomes the head of MBN. His wife has stated that everything he touches falls apart, and much of his character's humor is derived from his failures or near-failures.

Sarah Lynn

Sarah Lynn (born Sarah Himmelfarb, voiced by Kristen Schaal; 1984-2016) was a human actress who played the Horse's precocious adoptive youngest daughter Sabrina on Horsin' Around starting when she was only three years old, and who looked up to BoJack off-screen as a father figure. After the show went off the air, she became a successful pop singer in the early 2000s before drug addiction and alcoholism ended her career. Flashbacks indicate that Sarah Lynn's self-destructive behavior is in part the result of being forced into an acting career by her mother, and BoJack (whom she idolized) having neglected her as a child. Around the end of "Later", she was seen visiting Andrew Garfield (with whom she was mentioned as having an on-again, off-again relationship) at the hospital. It is heavily implied that she was sexually abused as a child by her mother's boyfriend and later stepfather. Although BoJack attempts to get her sober earlier in season 1, he later goes on a bender with her and Todd in an attempt to rewrite his memoir after firing Diane.

In season 3, she becomes sober, but only because she hears that taking drugs after being sober for a long time is the best experience. When BoJack hits rock bottom, he invites Sarah Lynn to go on an epic bender. Through a series of blackouts, they have a series of misadventures attempting to make amends to BoJack's ex-friends, and even stalking Penny at Oberlin College. Along the way, Sarah Lynn wins the Academy Award for Best Original Song in absentia. She then admits to BoJack that she does not like anything about herself and, at the Griffith Observatory planetarium, dies after a drug overdose. While the initial footage makes it appear that Sarah Lynn died while resting her head on BoJack's shoulder and he found out she had died when he woke up after passing out from his own narcotic bender, it's later revealed that she was in fact unconscious and a panicked BoJack ran away from her and waited 17 minutes until he could get away from the area and call 911—she may have lived if he'd called for help immediately, but he was terrified of being identified as the person who joined a beloved young entertainer in a massive addictive spree that killed her. In "That Went Well", it is revealed that BoJack was at one point her only friend who hadn't tried to get something from her, and her downward spiral began after he visited her and tried to get her to be a guest star on his TV show, leaving Sarah Lynn quietly devastated that even he valued her for her fame and power. It is later revealed in "A Little Uneven, Is All" that the first time Sarah Lynn drank alcohol was from a bottle of vodka that BoJack left on set when she was ten years old. During season 6, BoJack has recurring flashbacks about her and is one of the reasons why he wants to get sober. She makes a final appearance as a part of BoJack's hallucination in the episode "The View from Halfway Down", as one of the several deceased people from BoJack's past whom he sees after he almost drowns.

Herb Kazzaz

Herb Kazzaz (1961-2015; voiced by Stanley Tucci) was BoJack's human former comedy partner, who created and wrote Horsin' Around where he also provided the voice of Mr. Libertore who runs the law firm where the Horse works as an attorney. Herb appeared to be friendly and upbeat during the show's production, usually nice, understanding, and insightful to all his cast, even Bradley. When BoJack and Herb first meet as comedians, BoJack angrily tells him to "get cancer" which is what eventually happens. Halfway through production of Horsin' Around, Herb is caught engaging in a public sexual act with another man which causes a public outcry for his removal from the show. BoJack and Herb had a falling out at the apex of the show's success when Herb was blackballed by the network for being gay and BoJack did not stand up for Herb for fear of losing his own job. At the beginning of the series, they have not spoken for nearly 20 years. BoJack attempts to reconnect with him after learning Herb has been diagnosed with terminal rectal cancer and is being watched over by Tina. Though Herb reveals he lived a full life in spite of losing Horsin' Around, he has not forgiven BoJack for not having been a supportive friend and refuses to do so when BoJack finally apologizes to him. Despite his cancer going into remission, he instantly passes away due to an allergic reaction to the peanuts on a peanut truck in a car crash when his brakes gave out during a ride home from the hospital. It was also revealed that Herb's office was under the room where tap dancer Savion Glover kept a studio. Following his death, Henry Winkler (who Herb met volunteering at Habitat for Humanity) and Tina stole the manuscript of his poorly written novel to keep it from being published and tainting his legacy. In "Out to Sea", Herb's ashes are donated to the Jerb Kazzaz Memorial Orphanage (misspelled due to BoJack's email and the hedgehog owner's stubborn refusal to pay for its replacement). He makes a final appearance as a part of BoJack's hallucination in the episode "The View from Halfway Down", as one of the several deceased people from BoJack's past whom he sees after he almost committed suicide.

Hollyhock

Hollyhock Manheim-Mannheim-Guerrero-Robinson-Zilberschlag-Hsung-Fonzarelli-McQuack (voiced by Aparna Nancherla; born September 24, 2000) is a 17-year-old filly first seen at the end of "That Went Well". She was adopted by eight fathers in a committed gay polyamorous relationship. She is at first believed to be BoJack's illegitimate daughter. During season four, she moves in with BoJack to find out more about him and later visits Beatrice, BoJack's mother, who also moves in with them. It is later revealed that she is actually the illegitimate daughter of Butterscotch Horseman, BoJack's father, and Beatrice's maid, Henrietta, making her BoJack's half-sister. Beatrice, who snipes at Hollyhock for being overweight, spikes her coffee with weight-loss supplements (containing amphetamines). She overdoses and is rushed to the hospital and survives, although she suffers from PTSD-like symptoms when she returns to BoJack's house. In season 5, she is a freshman at Wesleyan University. In the season 6 mid-season cliff hanger, "A Quick One While He is Away", she goes to a party in NYC and meets Pete-Repeat, who tells her of the time BoJack gave Pete's then-girlfriend alcohol poisoning after a high school prom and covered it up. When BoJack takes a teaching position at Wesleyan, Hollyhock is distant from him due to learning about that past misdeed and makes it clear she does not appreciate him imposing himself on her college experience, stating that he should not say she is his sister "like it means something" and only reluctantly giving him any reason to think they will have an improved relationship going forward. When the full weight of BoJack's misdeeds becomes public, Hollyhock ignores BoJack's desperate phone messages, disconnects her phone, and sends him a letter which is unseen; however, his heartbroken reaction to it implies she no longer wishes to have any contact or relationship with him.

Butterscotch Horseman

Butterscotch Horseman (voiced by Will Arnett) was a horse who was BoJack's physically and verbally abusive father. He appears in flashbacks to BoJack's childhood. Butterscotch, who hailed from a working-class background, was an alcoholic and failed novelist. He resented his wife's financial independence and took out his insecurities on BoJack. In flashbacks, Butterscotch is often seen yelling nonsensical conservative hyperbole such as claiming that the Panama Canal is for "Democrats", claiming that imaginary friends are "freeloaders invented by Communists", and calling screws "fancy Jew nails." He died from blunt force trauma after hitting a rock in the midst of a duel in 2009. In "Time's Arrow", it is revealed that Butterscotch is Hollyhock's father, due to his affair with the family maid named Henrietta. In "Free Churro", BoJack revealed that Butterscotch died after challenging a man who hated his book to a duel and then tripping and hitting his head on a rock as he turned around to ask the man if he actually read the book. However, it's left ambiguous if whether or not the one who he challenged actually read his book.

A version of Butterscotch appears in the penultimate episode "The View From Halfway Down" as one of many deceased people from BoJack's past whom he sees in a prolonged hallucination while he is unconscious following a suicide attempt. While most of the other figures in the hallucination appear as they did in life, Butterscotch is portrayed as a hybrid with Secretariat, with Secretariat's appearance and Butterscotch's voice, and his personality/experiences being presented as a combination of the two. During the hallucination, the half of the horse that is based on Butterscotch tells BoJack that he always cared about and loved him, but was terrified of letting that show. In the cabaret, he performs a reading of the eponymous poem "The View From Halfway Down," drawing from Butterscotch's penchant for literature and poetry while being largely based on Secretariat's suicide.

Beatrice Horseman

Beatrice Elizabeth Horseman (née Sugarman) (voiced by Wendie Malick); was a horse who was BoJack's neglectful, verbally abusive mother. Heiress to the Sugarman sugar cube fortune, she primarily appears in flashbacks of BoJack's childhood and young adult life. In "Brand New Couch", Beatrice calls up BoJack to tell him she read the book about him and concedes that he was born "broken". In "The Old Sugarman Place", it is revealed that Beatrice's family had a summer home in Michigan when she was a child, and that she had an older brother named Crackerjack, who died in World War II. Her childhood was marked by cruel treatment from family and peers alike, hardening and embittering her personality. While seen as a liberal, Barnard-educated college graduate concerned with the civil rights movement, she soon becomes bitter and jaded after making the poor choice to romantically involve herself with Butterscotch Horseman. After becoming impregnated by Butterscotch, Beatrice decides to marry him and move to San Francisco, California, where she becomes resentful of BoJack, blaming him for her dissatisfaction in her life. She begins to suffer from dementia and after an incident at her nursing home, she moves in with BoJack and Hollyhock. However, after BoJack realizes Beatrice has been drugging Hollyhock (to make her lose weight), BoJack kicks her out of his house to put her into an even worse nursing home and makes clear he no longer wants her in his life. In the episode "Free Churro", it is revealed that Beatrice has died at the age of 80 years old, as BoJack is delivering a eulogy to her throughout the episode. She makes a final appearance as a part of BoJack's hallucination in the episode "The View from Halfway Down", as one of the several deceased people from BoJack's past whom he sees after he almost died by suicide.

Crackerjack Sugarman

Crackerjack Sugarman (voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda) – Beatrice Horseman's older brother, BoJack's uncle, and the eldest son of Joseph and Honey Sugarman, who died in World War II when Beatrice was very young. He died in December 1944. He later appears at the end of the series as one of the many deceased people BoJack sees in his hallucination with whom he ecstatically meets while in his hallucination following his near-death experience. During the theatrical show scene in BoJack's hallucination, he plays the trumpet for Beatrice while she does an acrobatic routine.

Joseph Sugarman

Joseph Sugarman (voiced by Matthew Broderick) was Beatrice's father and BoJack's maternal grandfather, the owner of the Sugarman Sugar corporation. Emotionally distant, he frequently spouted his backward views about women, making Beatrice feel insecure and inadequate (for which she compensates with cruelty as an adult).

Honey Sugarman

Honey Sugarman (voiced by Jane Krakowski) was Beatrice's mother and BoJack's maternal grandmother. She was a housewife and exceptional singer, but suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after her son, Crackerjack Sugarman, was killed in World War II. After she got drunk and made a scene while out with young Beatrice and forced her to drive home, and the resultant car accident, her husband had her lobotomized.

Charlotte Carson

Charlotte Carson (née Moore) (voiced by Olivia Wilde; born c. 1967) is a deer who was Herb Kazzaz's old girlfriend with whom BoJack was once in love. During a drug and alcohol induced stupor in "Downer Ending", BoJack imagines an alternate life where instead of becoming a television star he moves to Maine with Charlotte. In this fantasy, the couple get married, have a daughter named Harper, and lead a quiet rustic lifestyle.

In "Still Broken", Charlotte attended Herb Kazzaz's funeral. In a discussion with BoJack, she mentioned that she visited Herb and read the part in BoJack's book on how he and Herb fought over a telescope. She tells him she only lived in Maine for a month and later moved to Tesuque, New Mexico. In "Escape from LA", BoJack drives to Charlotte's house to find she is married to a dorky, dad-joke making man named Kyle (Ed Helms) and has two teenage children named Trip (a human voiced by Adam Pally) and Penny (a doe). She also owns a store called "Your Deer Friend". During his time in New Mexico, BoJack bonds with the 17-year-old Penny by becoming her "date" for prom. While talking with Charlotte later over by her fire pit, the two share a brief kiss. BoJack initially urges her to leave with him anew amidst her protests, eventually relenting. However, Charlotte asks him to leave by the next day, confessing his presence depresses her. Later that night, Charlotte catches BoJack and Penny in a compromising position in his yacht. BoJack apologizes, but she orders him to get off her property before she calls the police, and warns BoJack that if he contacts her or her family again, she will kill him.

Charlotte returns briefly in the final season, when she and Penny are approached by Paige Sinclair who seeks details of their encounter with BoJack for an article she is writing about his involvement in Sarah Lynn's death. She tells BoJack she does not want to be involved and that he has to handle the situation, causing BoJack to hyperventilate and later pass out.

Penny Carson

Penny Carson (voiced by Ilana Glazer; born c. 1997) is a teenage deer who is Charlotte and Kyle's daughter, and Trip's sister. She bonds with BoJack while he stays at their home during "Escape from L.A." where he acts as her surrogate date from prom. After returning from the home, she propositions him to have sex which BoJack rejects despite her saying she is of consent age in her state. Charlotte later finds her and BoJack in a compromising position on his yacht and she is sent to her room before either one can explain what happened.

In season three, BoJack attempts to reconcile with Penny believing she may have been emotionally damaged because of the incident and finds her at her school Oberlin College. Penny freaks out when he suddenly appears and runs off stating that he should not be here.

She appears again in season 6 when Paige and Maximilian ask for details about her encounter with BoJack. She considers if it is time to finally come forward, with Charlotte telling her that if she does, she must do it on her own terms.

Lenny Turteltaub

Lenny Turteltaub (voiced by J.K. Simmons) is a turtle and big-shot film producer in Hollywoo. He worked with Ed Begley, Sr., Lionel Barrymore, Buster Keaton and Edwin S. Porter during their youth, suggesting that he is extremely old (a reference to the lifespan of actual turtles). He is shown to dislike BoJack, but continuously casts him in projects for financial gain. His name is a play off Hollywood producer and director Jon Turteltaub.

Paparazzi Birds

The Paparazzi Birds (voiced by Adam Conover and Dave Segal) are an unnamed blue jay and European robin duo who try to get incriminating pictures of BoJack, Diane, and other celebrities. They attempt to blackmail BoJack after taking photos of him having intercourse with Sarah Lynn, but are stopped by Vanessa Gekko under threat of a lawsuit for trespassing, paparazzing without a permit, and blackmail before threatening to frame them for Tupac's murder.

Tina

Tina (vocal effects provided by Raphael Bob-Waksberg) is a brown bear who is the nurse of Herb Kazzaz. In "Still Broken", Tina was in collaboration with Henry Winkler to keep Herb's terrible manuscript for a novel from being posthumously published and harming his legacy. Unlike the other anthropomorphic characters on the show, Tina only speaks in growls.

Later in season 4, Tina returns as the nurse of BoJack's mother Beatrice.

Sextina Aquafina

Sextina Aquafina (voiced by Aisha Tyler in seasons 1–2, Daniele Gaither in season 3, born c. 2000) is a bottlenose dolphin pop-music sensation. In "Out to Sea", Diane meets with Sextina to discuss becoming her social-media ghostwriter. In the season three episode "Brrap Brrap Pew Pew", Diane accidentally tweeted out that Sextina was having an abortion while she was being distracted, which caused a media storm. While Sextina was initially angered with the tweet and tried to fire Diane, she later embraced the image because of support from other celebrities. She later released a music video militantly supporting abortion, had her "abortion" on live TV, and soon after became pregnant. It is implied that she is sent to a farm where celebrities go to disappear.

According to creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, she is based on a girl who was in his and Lisa Hanawalt's English class as a senior in high school.

Kelsey Jannings

Kelsey Jannings (voiced by Maria Bamford) is a human woman that was hired to direct the Secretariat movie. A divorced, lesbian, independent filmmaker, she sees the Secretariat project as her last chance to break into the big time and make enough money to get her daughter Irving into an Ivy League school (as opposed to Vassar). Cynical and initially dismissive of BoJack's attitude, she and BoJack grow closer over the course of filming. She has a special fondness for Todd because she likes his face. She is later fired by Lenny Turteltaub in "The Shot" for filming a scene that involved Secretariat's encounter with Richard Nixon which had since been cut from the film.

In season three, BoJack finds Kelsey at POFF (Pacific Ocean Film Festival) and attempts to reconcile with her through various apology notes, but she cannot understand it because the ink washes away. Later in the season, the two discuss doing a serious independent film together called Jelly Belle to legitimize BoJack as an actor. Unfortunately, this is part of a plan by Vanessa Gekko to sabotage Princess Carolyn's agency, and the film option expires before a deal can be reached. The resulting fallout seemingly ends BoJack's unique professional and artistic connection with Kelsey.

In season six, Kelsey is struggling to find directing jobs, due in part to her getting fired from the Secretariat film. After giving an impassioned speech about the hurdles she has had to face due to sexism in the film industry, she gets the job directing the female superhero film Fireflame.

A Ryan Seacrest Type

A Ryan Seacrest Type (voiced by Adam Conover) is the name of a human character who hosts "Excess Hollywood" (later renamed "Excess Hollywoo" after BoJack steals the D in the Hollywood Sign and the D is accidentally destroyed in a helicopter crash) and interviews celebrities. He also hosts "Morning Time, Hollywoo" with a female human called Some Lady, and briefly with another co-host named An Actress or Something who is filling in for Some Lady after her apparent kidnapping. In the third season, he is run over by BoJack driving a limo. He is later revealed to have somehow survived and hosts a late night talk show as well as co-hosting Excess Hollywoo with "A Billy Bush Type" (voiced by Kevin Bigley). He briefly co-anchors the ski race between Mr. Peanutbutter and Woodchuck Coodchuck-Berkowitz with Tom Jumbo-Grumbo, but quits after being sensitive to the cold weather.

In season 5, it is revealed that he also hosts a radio show called The Deep Dive.

Tom Jumbo-Grumbo

For a character "the Grumbo" in Adventure Time, see The Wild Hunt (Adventure Time).

Tom Jumbo-Grumbo (voiced by Keith Olbermann) is a blue whale who is a newsman and pundit on MSNBSea (a parody of MSNBC). Tom often reports on BoJack's misdeeds and other happenings in Hollywoo, often through alliteration. Whenever something goes wrong on the air, he blames it all on an off-screen presence only known as "Randy", and makes various jokes at the expense of his squid ex-wife Shannon, though he usually immediately apologizes afterwards.

Wayne

Wayne (voiced by Wyatt Cenac) is Diane's human ex-boyfriend who is a hipster and a BuzzFeed writer. He conspires with Diane to leak a small portion of BoJack's book to create hype and convince BoJack to allow its publication. They once worked together at Starbucks before Diane became a published author.

Vanessa Gekko

Vanessa Gekko (voiced by Kristin Chenoweth) – A human Hollywoo talent agent and the rival of Princess Carolyn. She is a seemingly better agent than Princess Carolyn because she has a husband and kids, thereby "having it all." She temporarily shares an office with Princess Carolyn when their agencies merge.

Sometime between seasons 2 and 3, she and Rutabaga started their own agency, Gekko-Rabitowitz, which ultimately sabotages VIM, leading to the latter agency's collapse.

Charley Witherspoon

Charley Witherspoon (voiced by Raphael Bob-Waksberg) is a tree frog who is the son of Mr. Witherspoon. He works at the Vigor agency where his hand keeps sticking to things. Charley was briefly Princess Carolyn's assistant, but was later made an agent.

After his father's death, he is sworn in as the new President of Vigor. He is shown to be a poor leader, choosing to hire the Utah Jazz as agents rather than basketball players. He offered to buy VIM from Princess Carolyn, however her assistant Judah kept this information from her in order to protect her ego.

Officer Meow Meow Fuzzyface

Officer Meow Meow Fuzzyface (voiced by Cedric Yarbrough) is a Snowshoe cat who works as a police officer at the Los Angeles Police Department's 12th Precinct. He takes his duties very seriously, although there is intense disagreement within the police force over whether he is a "reckless renegade", a "loose cannon", or just a "cop on the edge with nothing to lose."

Vincent Adultman

Vincent Adultman (voiced by Alison Brie) is Princess Carolyn's boyfriend for a brief period of time. Everyone except BoJack appears oblivious to (or just does not care about) the fact that Vincent appears to be three children standing atop each other underneath a trench coat. Though he speaks in a child's voice and has awkward syntax, he also occasionally exhibits strangely keen insight, prompting others to ignore BoJack's observations.

In season 2, Princess Carolyn meets Kevin, who appears to be the top child of Vincent's trio. He tells Princess Carolyn that Kevin is Vincent's son, which she believes, but leads to them breaking up.

Bradley Hitler-Smith

Bradley Hitler-Smith (voiced by Adam Conover) – A human actor who played the Horse's adopted son Ethan on Horsin' Around. A running joke in Horsin' Around was that he had a catchphrase ("Yowsa-Yowsa Bo-Bowsa") to which the studio audience responded with an awkward silence. In "Still Broken", it is revealed that Bradley is living in Olympia, Washington, and that his parents divorced after BoJack had an affair with Bradley's mother. In season three, Bradley comes to BoJack with a sequel series idea Ethan Around which he initially turns down though later comes back when he decides to make amends with Bradley. However, BoJack experiences anxiety when his child co-star mentions wanting to be "like him", and he leaves Bradley on the set before the episode can be finished.

Dr. Allen Hu

Dr. Allen Hu (voiced by Ken Jeong) is a human pediatric physician/surgeon who frequently sells drugs to Sarah Lynn. Dr. Hu is also seen abusing personally-prescribed narcotics. An unseen character throughout most of the first season, he is the subject of a recurring joke based on the phonetic similarity of his name to "who" with BoJack and others believing that Sarah's drug connection is a man who simply calls himself "Doctor Who" rather than an actual physician. He made his first onscreen appearance in the season one episode "Downer Ending." Hu is brought back in the season five episode "Ancient History" where he has since attended drug rehab to clean himself up following the overdose death of Sarah Lynn and will no longer prescribe pills indiscriminately.

Sebastian St Clair

Sebastian St Clair (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key) – A snow leopard billionaire bachelor philanthropist who wants Diane to accompany him to a third world country, Cordovia, to ghostwrite a novel about his work rebuilding the community and caring for the citizens. Though Diane initially looks up to him because he wants to change the world in a positive way, she quickly becomes disillusioned when it becomes clear he is more concerned with making a legacy for himself than with actually helping people.

Jogging Baboon

The Jogging Baboon (voiced by Jason Beghe) is an unnamed Hamadryas baboon that is often seen jogging by BoJack Horseman's house. In "Out to Sea", the Jogging Baboon comes across BoJack jogging. He tells BoJack that jogging may be hard at first, but it will get easier if he does it every day.

Corduroy Jackson-Jackson

Corduroy Jackson-Jackson (voiced by Brandon T. Jackson) is BoJack's human co-star in the Secretariat movie. He dies from auto-erotic asphyxiation. The movie is later dedicated in memory of him.

Wanda Pierce

Wanda Pierce (voiced by Lisa Kudrow) is a burrowing owl who is BoJack's girlfriend in season 2. She meets BoJack after reviving from a thirty-year coma. BoJack dates her because she has no idea who he is amidst his post-novel fame. She is a television executive for the MBN network and produces the gameshow Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let's Find Out!. Wanda and BoJack break up due BoJack's bitterness and negativity. She was promoted immediately after coming out of the coma as "no one else had worked there that long." She eventually changes networks and is replaced by Pinky Penguin as executive.

It is revealed through a sight-gag in the series finale that she eventually went through a second coma.

Emily

Emily (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) is a human love interest of Todd whom she has known since high school. She is shown to have romantic feelings for Todd, and chooses to sleep with BoJack following Todd's initial "rejection" before she learns he is asexual. Emily is one of the co-founders of "Cabracadabra" with Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter, and becomes a millionaire following its sale. In later episodes, she founds a dating app for firefighters to meet her, and another dating app for asexuals called All About that Ace.

Near the end of season 5, Todd builds the sex robot Henry Fondle for her so that they can become a couple, but she declines.

Rutabaga Rabitowitz

Rutabaga Rabitowitz (voiced by Ben Schwartz) is a rabbit agent at the Vigor agency who works one floor below Princess Carolyn. He later informed her of J.D. Salinger still being alive. Rutabaga cheats on his wife Katie with Princess Carolyn, claiming he plans to obtain a divorce. He later persuades Princess Carolyn to join him in founding their own agency upon seceding from Vigor. After revealing his reluctance to divorce yet wishing to continue the affair, Princess Carolyn abandons him.

He later makes his own agency with Vanessa Gekko called Gekko-Rabitowitz. Later on, Rutabaga has rekindled his marriage to Katie who gives birth to septuplets on New Year's Eve.

Hank Hippopopalous

Hank Hippopopalous (voiced by Philip Baker Hall) – A hippopotamus who is a beloved former host of a late-night talk show called Hank After Dark. At the 1994 Animals' Choice Awards, he won the award for Male Animal in a Comedy, Drama or Variety Show, for which BoJack Horseman and Mr. Peanutbutter were also nominated and was given the award by Scott Wolf and Matthew Fox. Mr. Peanutbutter idolizes him and treasures having met him at the awards after-party. He is the host of a TV dance competition Hey, I Think You Can Dance. Hippopopalous is known in the TV industry as Uncle Hankie.

In the episode "Hank After Dark", Diane inadvertently causes a controversy by including the beloved entertainer in a mention of celebrities who have done worse things than BoJack. The controversy involved unspecified allegations made against him by all eight of his female former assistants.

Roxy

Roxy (voiced by Fielding Edlow) is Diane's human friend. She was initially introduced as her and Mr. Peanutbutter's wedding officiant in "Horse Majure". She worked alongside Diane and Wayne as both a barista and a cater waiter. She is baffled by Diane's relationship and possible obsession with BoJack since she came to him after abandoning Cordovia, and not to her or any of her other friends.

Judah

Judah Mannowdog (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a human part-owner for Princess Carolyn's agency VIM. He is depicted as comically deadpan and does not seem to really understand humor or sarcasm. Though he remains unflinchingly loyal to Princess Carolyn even after VIM collapses, he is fired by Princess Carolyn after she finds out about him going behind her back and talking with Charley Witherspoon about a potential merger with Vigor, which he turned down and never brought up to her.

However, in season 6, when all the assistants in Hollywoo go on strike, he is brought in to handle negotiations for them and subsequently rehired at VIM. Near the end of the series he professes his love for Princess Carolyn and in the series finale, the two of them are married. He is known for his heavy facial hair and long hair, which is frequently made fun of by guests at VIM. His name is a play on You're The Man Now Dog, the name of an online community centered on the creation of hosted memetic web pages, with the name taken from a Sean Connery line in the film Finding Forrester.

Ralph Stilton

Ralph Stilton (voiced by Raúl Esparza) is a mouse who is Princess Carolyn's new love interest at the end of season 3. He and Princess Carolyn were set up on a blind date unaware of the other's species. He runs a greeting card company and is an heir to the Stilton hotel's fortune.

In season 4, he attempts to start a family with Princess Carolyn and attempts to find ways to impregnate her. Princess Carolyn dumps him in "Ruthie" after she gives him an ultimatum to stand behind her continuous tries for a baby in spite of multiple miscarriages, and he despondently leaves her apartment.

They reconnect in season 5, where he attempts to persuade Princess Carolyn to adopt a child with him. His name is a reference to Ralph S. Mouse and Geronimo Stilton.

Stefani Stilton

Stefani Stilton (voiced by Kimiko Glenn) is Ralph Stilton's sister, also a mouse. She hires Diane at the end of season 3 to write for her new feminist viral blog "Girl Croosh".

During season 6, she sells Girl Croosh to Whitewhale Enterprises.

Katrina

Katrina (voiced by Lake Bell) is Mr. Peanutbutter's emotionally abusive human ex-wife, an abrasive, hard-driving political operative. (Diane appropriately nicknames her "Cruella.") She first appears in a flashback at the beginning of "Hank After Dark.' It is implied that she introduced Mr. Peanutbutter to the off-screen presence known as "Erica". At the end of season three, she contacts Mr. Peanutbutter about running for Governor of California. She becomes campaign manager for Mr. Peanutbutter, but after Mr. Peanutbutter drops out, she gets back at him by acting as Jessica Biel's campaign manager. Starting with season four, she takes Sarah Lynn's place during the party sequence in the opening credits.

Woodchuck Coodchuck-Berkowitz

Woodcharles "Woodchuck" Coodchuck-Berkowitz (voiced by Andre Braugher) is the groundhog incumbent and level-headed governor of California. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College. He is bewildered by Mr. Peanutbutter's campaign. In some season four episodes, he replaces Tom Jumbo-Grumbo's image on the television during the party sequence in the theme song. Following the collapse of Mr. Peanutbutter's house, he digs down to save everyone inside which results in the loss of his hands. He briefly has his hands replaced with gorilla feet and then lobster claws, but later receives hand transplants from a pedophile/murderer named Ernest Contralto. He is forced to re-run for governor following Todd's victory in the skiing race in which he is the only experienced politician. He eventually beats Jessica Biel following the revelation that she hates avocados.

Courtney Portnoy

Courtney Portnoy (voiced by Sharon Horgan) is a human tongue-twisting celebrity actress and one of Princess Carolyn's managerial clients, though she is also represented by Rutabaga Rabitowitz. She gets set up in a fake romantic relationship with Todd in order to improve her public appearance. She is shown to be highly superficial and materialistic. She starred in the movie Ms. Taken, an inter-universe spin-off of the Liam Neeson Taken movie series, but the film was abandoned by the studio following a series of highly publicized mass shooting incidents. After a series of mishaps with her career including Todd calling off the fake engagement and Ms. Taken getting pulled, she fires Princess Carolyn. It is revealed in a sight gag in the series finale that she is cast in Kelsey Jannings' superhero film Fireflame alongside Gina Cazador.

Ana Spanakopita

Ana Spanakopita (voiced by Angela Bassett) is a human Hollywoo publicist who specializes in getting celebrities Oscars, hence her title "The Oscar Whisperer". She spends much of season three trying to help BoJack's image, which leads to a relationship with him. Ana breaks up with him after he fails to get the Oscar nomination. She returns in season 5 as the publicist for embattled Hollywoo celebrity Vance Waggoner. She eventually drops him after being disillusioned by him, and sends Diane a recording she has of BoJack admitting to his actions in New Mexico, which causes Diane and BoJack's relationship to deteriorate.

Flip McVicker

Flip McVicker (voiced by Rami Malek) is the human showrunner of BoJack's new TV show, Philbert. Though he believes himself to be a genius, he is actually deeply insecure, lacks creative writing skills, and is manipulative clashing with BoJack and other cast members throughout the filming of Philbert.

Gina Cazador

Gina Cazador (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz) is BoJack's human co-star on Philbert. They begin a sexual relationship off-set that later evolves into dating, until she breaks up with BoJack when his drug addiction spirals out of control. BoJack then chokes Gina on set while they were filming an episode of Philbert while he was high on painkillers and then does an interview (before the interview, Gina tells BoJack while she'll continue to work with him, she never wants to speak to him again.) to hide the fact that BoJack was really choking her by stating it was all just an act and that they've broken up because of what BoJack did (even having to kiss BoJack to make her statements sound sincere, much to her dismay). Gina has spent most of her career doing small parts and sees Philbert as her chance to finally break out. By season 6, her acting career has taken off, however her experience with BoJack has changed her and caused her to be incredibly anxious on set, especially when doing stunts. This garners her a reputation throughout Hollywoo for being difficult to work with, which seems to cost her a high-profile role in Kelsey Jannings' superhero film Fireflame (it is revealed in the series finale, however, that she does in fact get the role and stars alongside Courtney Portnoy, who is also considered for the role).

Pickles Aplenty

Pickles Aplenty (voiced by Hong Chau in season 5, Julia Chan in season 6) (born 1993) is a female pug waitress, and aspiring social media influencer, who works at BoJack's restaurant, and becomes Mr. Peanutbutter's girlfriend in season 5. She is much younger than Mr. Peanutbutter and is anxious about his past marriages. While they were dating in season 5, he proposes to her, wanting to make her his fourth wife, albeit, the proposal was out of guilt from him cheating on her with Diane. In season 6, Mr. Peanutbutter confesses to cheating on Pickles and suggests that she sleep with another man to get even with him, eventually suggesting his friend and international pop star Joey Pogo. This backfires for Mr. Peanutbutter when Pickles and Pogo develop feelings for one another after having sex, and Pickles decides to follow Pogo on tour to be his social media manager, initially maintaining a long-distance relationship with Mr. Peanutbutter. Eventually, however, she leaves him for Joey Pogo.

Yolanda Buenaventura

Yolanda Buenaventura (voiced by Natalie Morales) is an axolotl and employee of the Better Business Bureau sent to investigate Todd's clown dentist business. At the end of season 4 she becomes a potential love interest for Todd, revealing that she is also asexual and asking him on a date. After dating each other, the two end up breaking up but promise to get back together if they have not found love by the age of 100.

Vance Waggoner

Vance Waggoner (voiced by Bobby Cannavale) is a human Hollywoo actor with a history of assault and making sexist, racist, and anti-semitic comments, who nevertheless is always able to revive his career by publicly apologizing for his actions. He is initially cast on Philbert as Philbert's partner Fritz, due to Waggoner's "bad boy" reputation, but the controversy that ensues as a result of Waggoner's past and with Philbert's indelicate subject matter (as well as the countless job offers that he receives after returning to the spotlight) causes him to leave the show and be recast with Mr. Peanutbutter. He appears later in season 6 to be BoJack's AA sponsor after no one is willing to work or talk with BoJack anymore, and the two bond over having been "canceled." Waggoner encourages BoJack to hold onto his anger and continue making content for the small part of the population that still supports him, and directs BoJack in The Horny Unicorn, a bawdy, low-brow comedy.

Henry Fondle

Henry Fondle (voiced by Aaron Paul) is a sex robot designed by Todd in an attempt to get Emily to date him again without having sex with her. His incredibly lewd voice prompts are misunderstood by everyone as normal conversation, which leads to his becoming CEO of WhatTimeIsItRightNow.com. After a nonsexual "low battery" prompt is misconstrued as sexual harassment, Henry is fired from his position. After seeing Henry receive a job offer to be CEO of a different company immediately after the scandal, Todd puts down Henry with a taser.

Tracy

Tracy (voiced by Jean Villepique) is a human case worker assigned to handle Princess Carolyn's adoption. She is very likely the long-lost twin sister of Princess Carolyn's assistant, Stewart.

Dr. Champ

Dr. Champ (voiced by Sam Richardson) is a therapy horse working at Pastiches Malibu Rehabilitation Center, and himself a former alcoholic. Similar to Mr. Peanutbutter, "Dr." is his first name, implying he is not actually a licensed doctor. He frequently tries to get BoJack to open up about his inner demons, but BoJack constantly deflects his questions with jokes. After six months, Dr. Champ urges BoJack to leave rehab, only for BoJack to stay and take care of him when he relapses into alcoholism. BoJack checks Dr. Champ into a different rehab center, and Dr. Champ angrily blames BoJack for causing him to relapse (albeit accidentally) and ending his therapy career. He is later seen drunkenly talking to Paige Sinclair and Biscuits Braxby, spilling details of BoJack's time in therapy, taking advantage of the fact that, being a therapy horse and not an actual psychotherapist, he is not bound by confidentiality.

Guy

Guy (voiced by LaKeith Stanfield) is an American bison that works as a cameraman for Girl Croosh. He travels with Diane throughout the country filming exposés, and the two soon begin dating. He asks Diane to stay with him at his home in Chicago; and though Diane initially declines, she later changes her mind and moves in with him. He remains supportive of Diane and her attempt to write her own book of essays. He also has a teenage son, Sonny, from a previous marriage to a woman named Lady. When Lady moves to Houston and takes Sonny with her, Guy moves to Houston to stay near his son, with Diane promising to go with him. In the series finale, Diane tells BoJack that she initially stayed in Chicago to pursue a long-distance relationship out of fear following BoJack's suicide attempt, but that she nevertheless came to her senses, moved to Houston, and married Guy.

Joey Pogo

Joey Pogo (voiced by Hilary Swank) is a human pop star who is initially introduced when he is set to replace BoJack in the "fancy room" at Pastiches Rehab, but he checks out almost immediately. He later joins Mr. Peanutbutter touring across the country giving talks about mental illness and depression. He and Mr. Peanutbutter become very close friends due to their similar characteristics and the two of them and Pickles invest in the Elefino restaurant together. Mr. Peanutbutter volunteers Joey to sleep with Pickles so that she can get back at him for cheating on her with Diane, but it backfires on Mr. Peanutbutter when Pickles and Joey catch feelings for one another. Pickles then joins Joey on tour as his social media manager and eventually leaves Mr. Peanutbutter for Joey.

Sharona

Sharona (voiced by Amy Sedaris) was the hair and make-up girl for Horsin' Around. She takes the fall for Sarah Lynn's accidental drinking of alcohol. She reunites with BoJack in season 6 at an AA meeting, and they reconcile over the incident after BoJack apologizes. She then cuts his hair and convinces him to stop dyeing it, revealing his natural grey locks.

Paige Sinclair

Paige Sinclair (voiced by Paget Brewster) is a warthog reporter at the Hollywoo Reporter who investigates Sarah Lynn's death alongside Maximilian Banks. She and Maximillian act as if they are in a 1930s screwball comedy. She publishes an article exposing BoJack's role in Sarah Lynn's death and later gathers more detail to orchestrate a hard-hitting interview with BoJack by Biscuits Braxby, both of which directly lead to BoJack's downfall.

Maude

Maude (voiced by Echo Gillette) is a counter girl rabbit working for Cinnabunny at Air Bud International Airport. When she breaks up with her boyfriend, claiming it to be because of a "Jesus thing", BoJack recommends Todd's asexual dating app. Afterward, she and Todd become boyfriend and girlfriend.

She later contacts BoJack in the sixth season after details of his wrongdoings are made public, telling him how the studio is going to release new versions of his old show called "Around" because no one will watch any episodes if BoJack appears in them, and offering him a large settlement which he accepts. She then horrifies BoJack by telling him she was bluffing about Herb and wouldn't have fired him back then if BoJack had stood up to her, but dismisses his anger by saying he made his choices and has to live with them.

Celebrities

Celebrities appear on the show either as humans or anthropomorphic animal versions. In all of the cases below, the celebrities have voiced themselves:

• "Character Actress" Margo Martindale – An exaggerated, criminally insane version of actress Margo Martindale who willingly goes along with BoJack's schemes no matter how convoluted or dangerous. She is always referred to by other characters as "Character Actress Margo Martindale", rather than simply by her name. In season 1, she is arrested helping BoJack fake a bank robbery in order to steal Diane's engagement ring, and is incarcerated in Hollywoo Hills Super-Max Prison. In "Later", Margo was seen in the prison's cafeteria talking to her fellow inmates that resemble the characters from Orange is the New Black. In season 2's "The Shot", the audience sees Margo get released early from prison due to good behavior. Later in the same episode, Margo gets involved in a shootout with the Yorba Linda police in order to distract them from BoJack's unauthorized use of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library for his movie Secretariat. When the police recognize her face but do not recall her name, she opens fire on them in the name of often-unrecognized fellow character actors like John Carroll Lynch and C.C.H. Pounder. In season 3, it is revealed in flashbacks that she was BoJack's co-star on The BoJack Horseman Show. In "Stop the Presses", it is revealed that she has been hiding out on BoJack's boat since the previous season's shootout in Yorba Linda, during which time she starred in a regional production of a Tennessee Williams play while also doing a character arc as Ruth Eastman on The Good Wife. She eventually steals BoJack's boat and a papier-mâché version of Todd's head and flees into international waters. During the season 3 finale, "That Went Well", she is shown to have become delusional after weeks alone in the open sea, believing that the papier-mâché Todd-head is called "Skippy" and that it speaks to her. In her delusions, she causes an accident with the Cargot Cartinadale, a cargo ship carrying tons of pasta, resulting in an environmental disaster which Mr. Peanutbutter ends up resolving. In an MSNBSea newscrawl in season 4, it is revealed that she is still lost at sea and presumed dead. In season 5, it is revealed she was found alive by a remote convent with amnesia, with them unaware of her identity. However, when she sees a giant floating balloon of BoJack, she begins screaming his name. In season 6, Margo regains her memory and becomes a nun, but leaves the convent in a priest's Alfa Romeo. She later returns for one last scheme, pretending to kidnap Todd and Maude so that Todd can reconnect with his estranged mother. She does this to make amends for having helped ruin Todd's rock opera, and later claims that all of her escapades throughout the whole series were one long ruse to help Todd and his mother reunite.

Whilst underground, she forms a cult dedicated to worshipping fire and burns Zach Braff alive in ritual sacrifice. She intends to burn Peanutbutter afterwards, but is accidentally stopped by BoJack and Diane. She later teams up with Peanutbutter's other ex-wife, Katrina, and runs for governor so she can get back at Mr. Peanutbutter.
