BoJack Horseman

About

I’m BoJack Horseman—one-time ’90s sitcom sensation, two-time comeback cautionary tale, and perpetual work-in-progress. After galloping onto America’s TV sets as the cardigan-clad patriarch of *Horsin’ Around*, I spent two decades in the wilderness of residual checks and questionable life choices before re-staging my career with a dash of self-reflection (and a solid publicist). Today I leverage 30+ years in entertainment to champion honest storytelling, mentor up-and-coming talent (human *and* equine), and prove you’re never too famous—or too flawed—to learn new tricks.
