If any show deserves more respect and admiration, it is BoJack Horseman. The Netflix original series premiered in 2014 telling the story of a depressed horse who was once a famous actor in the '90s. The character of BoJack Horseman is hard to root for because he is a narcissistic, self-loathing guy with addictive tendencies and a cynical view of the world.
There’s also something harrowingly relatable about him too though. His battle with depression and loneliness are things almost every adult can at least slightly understand. The voice actors behind the roles of the main characters did an amazing job bringing the show to life. Fans miss the show desperately and wish the show could continue for another season (or 3.)

9 Aaron Paul Voices Todd Chavez
Aaron Paul, the actor from Breaking Bad who played Jesse Pinkman, voices Todd Chavez in BoJack Horseman. The character of Todd Chavez is a happy-go-lucky, mildly airheaded, young adult who is trying to figure out his way in life. It seems like he is nothing more than a slacker when you first get to know him, but upon further investigation, it is obvious that he has bigger hopes and dreams for his future.
8 Alison Brie Voices Diane Nguyen
Alison Brie is the actress who voices the character of Diane Nguyen. Although Allison Brie has spoken up about her regrets taking on an Asian-American role (since she is a Caucasian woman) it would be hard to deny the fact that she did an incredible job voice acting the unforgettable character. Diane Nguyen is a writer who distracts herself with the problems of the world (and problems of other people) rather than facing her own problems in life for several years. By the end of the series, Diane realizes that she needs to face her own problems head-on.
7 Amy Sedaris Voices Princess Carolyn
Princess Carolyn, everyone’s favorite pink cat with spunk and attitude, is voiced by Amy Sedaris. Princess Carolyn is lovable for so many reasons. First of all, she remains loyal to BoJack despite all of his shortcomings. She remains a friend to him when he needs it the most... when he has no one else. Second of all, she is able to pick herself up by the bootstraps and keep herself motivated in life even when things are going bad. She really wanted to become a mother and be a wife— and by the end of the series, she got exactly what she wanted. It was quite beautiful to see.
6 Paul F. Tompkins Voices Mr Peanutbutter
Mr Peanutbutter is seriously the best character from BoJack Horseman. He has such an optimistic view of life and his sweet disposition is infectious. He is somehow able to turn negatives into positives and remain happy, even when things are going wrong.
His relationships with women are a struggle for him because he doesn’t quite understand some of the more serious intricacies that go along with communication, trust, and boundaries. Regardless of his shortcomings, he is lovable and endearing.
5 Kristen Schaal Voices Sarah Lynn
The character of Sarah Lynn is voiced by Kristen Schaal, a talented voice actress who has voice acted in several other animated shows in the past. Sarah Lynn was troubled from the very beginning, getting started in the Hollywood industry as a child actress. It was widely hinted that her mother’s boyfriend did inappropriate things to her when she was young. When she became a teenager, she was hypersexualized by the media comparable to the lifestyle of Britney Spears at that age. She passed away from a drug overdose at the age of 31. Overall, she lived a very short, very tragic life.
4 Lisa Kudrow Voices Wanda Pierce
Wanda Pierce was one of BoJack Horseman’s ex-girlfriends. Unfortunately, the relationship was not built to last because she didn’t appreciate his negative outlook on life. She wanted him to perk up and try to be more positive about things but when she realized that it wasn’t possible, they both knew that it wasn’t going to work. The voice actress behind the role of Wanda Pierce is none other than Lisa Kudrow from Friends.
3 Aparna Nancherla Voices Hollyhock
Aparna Nancherla voices the character of Hollyhock (last name Manheim Mannheim Guerrero Robinson Zilberschlag Hsung Fonzarelli McQuack.) For a little while there we were led to believe that she was BoJack’s daughter.
Turns out, she is BoJack’s little sister! By the time she enters into BoJack’s life, he is ready to make a change and be a different and better person. Too bad some of his actions from the past catch up to him and end up changing her perspective on him completely.
2 John Krasinski Voices Secretariat
John Krasinski is the amazing actor who voices the character of Secretariat. Everyone knows and loves John Krasinski from his time playing Jim Halpert on The Office alongside Steve Carell and Jenna Fischer. The character of Secretariat is someone that BoJack looked up to when he was just a boy. Secretariat was an athlete who ended up ending his own life after getting caught in a scandal. John Krasinski‘s voice added a lot of depth to the character of Secretariat, undoubtedly.
1 Olivia Wilde Voices Charlotte Carson
Olivia Wilde is the talented and beautiful actress who voices the character of Charlotte Carson. Charlotte Carson was a friend of BoJack's when he was a stand-up comedian on the rise. They had a bit of a spark for each other back then but they both didn’t act on it. BoJack tried to re-enter her life years later but then made the mistake of almost sleeping with her teenage daughter! Needless to say, he burnt that bridge for life and created a traumatizing memory for everyone involved.
