History Characters / BojackHorsemanOtherCharacters

* {{Foil}}: To his spiritual successor, [=BoJack=]. Both came from really shitty conditions to become famous superstars in horse racing and acting, respectively. Like [=BoJack=], Secretariat has done a lot of sacrifices for his career, including leaving a loved one out to dry: in Secretariat's case, getting his brother Jeff drafted to 'Nam in his place; [=BoJack=]'s, selling out his mentor Herb for a chance at playing Secretariat, ironically and both are constantly haunted and feeling incomplete about their lives. The only difference is that while Secretariat allowed his fears and failures to consume him, [=BoJack=] has constantly bounced and learned from his while continuing walking in an uncertain road.

* TheHero: Of "Squeakivus".

* AbhorrentAdmirer: An awkward, nervous, homely and boring dweeb of a goat, Corbin was obviously smitten with Beatrice but clearly didn't represent Beatrice's idea of someone who would make pleasant small talk, much less someone she'd consider marrying. It didn't help that their possible engagement was endorsed and expected by her father Joseph, who never took her happiness in consideration and saw it more as a strategic union with Creamerman Cream-based Commodities. All of this was part of what drew her to the more rugged, [[IncrediblyLamePun studly]] Butterscotch Horseman. [[spoiler: After realizing their CommonalityConnection and their similar situations, Beatrice was ''just'' starting to come around to Corbin when she learned she was pregnant with [=BoJack=], ruining any chance she had of marrying him.]]

* CatchPhrase: ''"Aw, geez."''

** He and Joseph have different, if still oppressive, parenting skills: Joseph has no problem raising Beatrice as a more refined version of a breeding mare to be sold to the biggest bider which is in tune with the era and women's lack of rights at the time, even if he still gives her the best things money can buy without thinking of giving her any respect; Mort is implied to be upfront and far more brutally honest with Corbin with any particular idea or sense of individualism his son presents dashed immediately. Both are designed to toughen their children for the harsh world, but all it does is make them emotionally distant and resentful.
** By a generation division, Butterscotch and Mort are connected by their personalities: harsh, spiteful, conservative and dismissive of their sons' ideas. One hails from a high-class background and industrialized wealth, the other comes from skid rows and working class parents.

* NotGoodWithPeople: He's a pariah even within the high circle, and [[NoSocialSkills doesn't exactly have great social skills]]. He'd much rather spend his time learning about the business and exploring alternative methods for the company, and when in public he tends to make a fool out of himself.

* BadassBaritone[-/-]EvilSoundsDeep: As a consequence of being voiced, Checkers has a deep, graveling, booming tone that stands out even in his one line of dialogue.
