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 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 drug abuse, alcohol abuse, horrible decisions he's made throughout his career, and issues with his unhappy parents during childhood, which the audience is shown through flashbacks. At the end of season 5, BoJack checks into rehab after he developed a drug addiction to prescription painkillers he was on which caused him to strangle his co-star. In season 6, he decides to fight his inner demons so he can stay sober and be content with himself, accepting a job as an acting professor at

. His past inevitably catches up with him, however, when the ''Hollywoo Reporter'' runs a story about his role in Sarah Lynn's death, with eventually all the details of his many wrongdoings and missteps becoming common knowledge and BoJack inevitably being " canceled." The isolation that ensues causes BoJack to briefly relapse into his old ways, breaking into his old home, using drugs and alcohol, and attempting suicide by drowning in his old swimming pool. His body is found the next morning and after initially being pronounced dead, he eventually comes to and is sentenced to prison for breaking and entering. In the series finale, he is released from prison for one day for Princess Carolyn's wedding, during which he takes the time to make amends with each of his old friends before eventually moving on and creating a new life for himself.

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.

Mr. Peanutbutter

Mr. Peanutbutter (voiced by Paul F. Tompkins; born August 20, c. ) 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 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

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.

, ''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 aren't 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's 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-repulsive. 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.

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.

Around the end of "Later", she was seen visiting

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.

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).

", 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 challenged him 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's 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.

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.
