* DotingParent: To his son, Charlie. He supports him in every way, gives him a job and congratulates him in the small things he does. [[spoiler: It would be sweet if Charlie wasn't a NervousWreck incompetent who's climbing the ladder way faster than Princess Carolyn or Rutebaga.]]

!Other Characters

[[folder: Vanessa Gekko]]
!!Vanessa Gekko

->''Played by:'' Creator/KristinChenoweth

A talent agent that Princess Carolyn has a rivalry with.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She's this to Princess Carolyn. At least until she steps up her game.
* CatchPhrase: "Byeeeeeeee" in a singsong voice.
* HappilyMarried: And constantly rubs it in the single Princess Carolyn's face.
* HelpfulHallucination: During "The Shot" though she only gets more helpful when she acts more antagonistically to Princess Carolyn.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Points where it's due. Then, again, this is Bojack we are talking about.
* {{Jerkass}}: Constantly rubs her success in Princess Carolyn's face and is rarely geniunely nice to anyone.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Her treatment and dismissal of the two bird paparazzo who want to {{Blackmail}} Bojack would fall into KickTheDog, but those two are so inept, pathetic and cruel that it's kind of satisfying.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: After taking away Princess Carolyn's project from her and humiliating her, Princess Carolyn shows her fangs and riggs everything so it will come crashing down on Vanessa at the worst moment.]]
* MockingSingSong: She doesn't sing, ''that's her normal tone of voice.''
* OutGambitted: By Princess Carolyn in "Say Anything".
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: A master of the art.
* SmugSnake: She's slimy and a lot less clever than she thinks she is.
* SpeciesSurname: Averted, she's a human woman.
* SugaryMalice: With more emphasis on the "sugary" part, since her more nasty side only comes out when interacting with Princess Carolyn.
* TheRival: To Princess Carolyn.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: In a passive-aggressive way.
* TheUsurper: She starts taking away all of Princess Carolyn's privileges and accomplishments, including a movie deal she was handling and a cushier position with her boss, Mr. Witherspoon.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mr. Witherspoon]]
-> '''Played by:''' Creator/StephenColbert

Princess Carolyn's boss at Vigor.
----
* CluelessBoss: Oh, yes. It doesn't mean he's incompetent, though. Just really inconsiderate and obliviously uncaring towards his employees.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He suffers a stroke in the season 2 finale. He has't been confirmed dead yet.]]
* [[spoiler: LastDisrespects]]: Unintentionally. Maybe Rutabaga should have called off his final "fuck you" to his boss. [[spoiler: Especially since he's had, y'know, '''''A STROKE.''''']]
* [[spoiler: LeftHanging]]: [[spoiler: We never find out if he's still alive after the stroke or not.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: The little tuba tune that plays whenever he enters the scene.
* MeanBoss: He shows a less clueless and outright rude demeanor in season 2, as Princess Carolyn slowly starts to fall from his grace.
* {{Nepotism}}: [[spoiler: At the beginning of the second season, his son Charlie (who in season 1 was a neurotic, incompetent intern) has been promoted to a higher-floor agent.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Joelle Clarke]]
!!Joelle Clarke

-> ''Played by:'' Alison Brie

The actress who played Olivia, the Horse's teenage adopted human daughter, on ''Horsin' Around''. After the show ended she went to England to become a stage actress.
----
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler: During [[TheFunInFuneral "Still]] [[MeaningfulFuneral Broken"]], Joelle remembers one of her last talks with Herb when trying to find the password to his computer. Herb ends up mentioning that [[DoubleSpeak "family" is the most important thing]], leading Joelle to discover the real password: [[ShapedLikeItself password.]]]]
* ChewingTheScenery: She always does this. '''At every opportunity.'''
* CountryMatters: She insults Sarah Lynn this way. She defends its use by saying that [[YourNormalIsOurTaboo it's more common on England.]]
* FakeBrit: In-universe, in her adult life as a stage actress she has adopted a British accent
* FormerlyFit: As Sarah Lynn notes in Season 2, Joelle has put on a significant amount of weight.
* GreenEyedMonster: Her dismissive attitude towards Sarah Lynn can be seen this way.
* ImmigrantPatriotism: Given her accent and defensive attitude towards the [[CountryMatters Country Matters]] above, she seems to have embraced the British way of life.
* LargeHam
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Courtesy of being a LargeHam by profession.
* [[SiblingRivalry Non-Sibling Rivalry]]: With Sarah Lynn, due to the excessive (in Joelle's eyes) [[SpotlightStealingSquad focus]] the show had on her in [[SeasonalRot later years]]. Years later, they haven't let go and still behave like competitive sisters.
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: [[spoiler: She finds out that Herb's password is simply "password".]]

[[folder: Bradley Hitler-Smith]]
!!Bradley Hitler-Smith

-> '''Played by:''' Adam Conover

The actor who played Ethan, the Horse's adopted human son, on ''Horsin' Around''. After the show ended, he became the owner of the largest hardware store in Olympia, WA.
----
* FormerChildStar: He managed to avoid the pitfalls of this by getting out of show business after the show ended and ended up as a relatively successful business owner.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: In the present, he has a receding hairline.
* IBangedYourMom: The reason why his parents divorced was because Bojack slept with his mom. When Bradley casually confronts him about it, he doesn't remember [[ButForMeItWasTuesday how did his mother looked.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Of all the former Horsin' Around cast, Bradley grew up to be the most well-adjusted of the group, lacking any real eccentricities compared to the others. Helps that he's the only one who's no longer an actor.
* TheOneWhoMadeItOut
* SelfMadeMan: He runs a pretty successful hardware store in Olympia. And he seems quite well off economically.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the group formed by Joelle, Sarah Lynn, Bojack and himself, he's the one who operates the computer.
* UnfortunateName: In interviews, the creative team said the idea of someone with the name Hitler marrying someone and then actively choosing to not only keep their name, but add to it and then give it to their child who would then go on to have an acting career was too hilarious not to include in the show.

[[folder: Officer Meow-Meow Fuzzyface]]
-> '''Played by:''' Cedric Yarbrough

A cat policeman who shows up repeatedly over the course of the series.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler: How aware is he of Gentle Farms' crimes is never stated.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Despite his ridiculous name, he's one of the more straight-faced characters.
* CowboyCop: He and the entire LAPD [[DiscussedTrope discuss]] what "type" of Cowboy Cop he is, even using a white-board to organize the thoughts. They decide that he's a "Loose Cannon who follows his own rules".
* CulturedBadass: He expresses astonishment that [[FawltyTowersPlot "Becka"]] prefers [[JohannSebastianBach Bach]] instead of [[AntonioVivaldi Vivaldi.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: He showed up [[spoiler: to make an statement about Mr. Peanutbutter ''[[GloryHound stealing]]'' the D from the HOLLYWOOD sign way before his more prominent appearance in season 2.]]
* GreatDetective: Once he finds out [[spoiler: Diane and Todd have the chicken]], he starts using sharper deductive skills to capture them, although they often fall into [[BatDeduction Bat Deduction.]]
* InspectorJavert: His approach indicates that he views criminals as scum, regardless of the justifiability of their crimes.
* PoliceBrutality: {{Implied}}:
-->'''Officer Meow-Meow Fuzzyface''': Don't worry ma'am. We'll bring your daughter home, dead or alive.\\
'''Kelsey Jannings''': [[AdultFear Alive. Alive!]]\\
'''Fuzzyface''': We're the LAPD, ma'am. [[FalseReassurance We'll probably make the right call.]]
* RabidCop: He's very emotional and passionate about the job.
* SkywardScream: [[spoiler: '''''CCHHHIIICCCKKEEENNNNN!!!!''''']]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In both of his two major appearances, [[spoiler: he declares Mr. Peanutbutter to be the thief of the D of the Hollywood sig, which subsequently gets destroyed and has played the UnwittingPawn to a slaughterhouse that reveals the [[FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter true nature of meat]].]]
* SunglassesAtNight: Lampshaded by Todd in "Chickens".
* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: [[spoiler: Despite chasing after Todd and Diane, he's not portrayed ''completely'' in the wrong either. They kidnapped a chicken, after all. He's just being blind to other, more ''serious'', if ''legal'' crimes.]]
