15 Amazing Guest Appearances On Bojack Horseman

14. Liev Schrieber - Copernicus

BoJack Horseman Mr Peanutbutter
Netflix

The second season of Bojack Horseman involved a strange direction for Todd when he joined a society of extreme-method improv comedy actors whose rules and punishments mirrored a certain religion that shall not be named.

The overall arc was for Bojack to finally start appreciating Todd as a friend and not as just a sidekick to berate, and who better to be a driving force in that equation than a cognac sipping, monocle wearing cult leader?

Liev Schreiber's deep and sophisticated tone offers a subtle menace to the role, which at times it is countered brilliantly by his literal butt jokes and deliberately cheap puns.

Todd’s discovery that Copernicus is a hacky comic is development in itself, but the unveiling of how desperately committed the other improv actors are to the miming sketch is side-splitting when we see Bojack’s reaction to their make-believe gunfights.

Overall, the slight antagonist to Todd’s story was fun, but the biggest get was to have Liev Schreiber voice the Persian cat with just the right amount of villainy, whilst still remaining silly and adorable.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
