Just like the actual Hollywood, BoJack Horseman's fictional Hollywoo industry is filled with many famous actors, musicians, and reality TV personalities. All the famous guest stars on BoJack Horseman Season 4 have definitely taken the series to a new echelon of show business parody. The fourth season of the animated comedy series is currently streaming on Netflix, and expertly balances BoJack's star-studded Hollywoo world with storylines exploring his family's heartbreaking backstory.

BoJack Horseman's regular voice cast is filled with big names, such as Will Arnett (BoJack), Amy Sedaris (Princess Carolyn), Alison Brie (Diane), and Aaron Paul (Todd). Season 4 boasts an impressive roster of celebrity guest stars, including Jessica Biel, Felicity Huffman, Lake Bell, and so many more. They've either lent their voices to fictional characters in Hollywoo (and beyond) or have played themselves as their animated counterparts interact with BoJack and his crew.

Throughout its four seasons, BoJack Horseman's sharp jokes and Hollywoo(d) satire hasn't pulled any punches — but the celebs don't seem to mind, according to a Slashfilm interview with showrunner Raphael Bob-Waksberg. "No one that I know of yet has really been upset by what we’ve said," he told the publication. "Most celebrities probably have good senses of humor about themselves."

BoJack Horseman Season 4 features a long list of celeb guest stars and cameos, and they're listed below in no particular order. Here's who you heard:

The Broadway actor and composer makes a surprise appearance in Season 4 as Crackerjack Sugarman, Beatrice's brother (and therefore, BoJack's great uncle). He shows up in flashbacks in the episode "That Old Sugarman Place." The family says goodbye to him as he leaves to fight in World War II — a moment that would set off a series of heartbreaking events for the Sugarman family.

4Jessica Biel

In the Hollywoo world of BoJack Horseman, the actor is one of Mr. Peanutbutter's ex-wives. She has a lot of hilarious moments, including running for California governor and the moment when she tries to describe her new fragrance Bielist (or is it B-List?).

Bob-Waksberg told Slashfilm in the aforementioned interview that Biel was game for all their jokes — no matter how scathing. "She asked us to go meaner because she felt like we were pulling punches," he told the publication. "She said, 'I want you to get the writers in the room and really go to town on me.' So we did."

"He's so normal," he says, describing Todd.

The Sopranos creator makes a cameo as himself. In Hollywoo, Chase created the sitcom Mr. Peanutbutter's House with Steven Bocho before hitting it big on HBO.

The "Created By David Chase and Steven Bocho" credit was a joke in a Season 1 episode and the creators decided to expand the gag to a flashback in Season 4. "So then when it was time to show the flashback to it, we were like, 'Do you think we could get David Chase or Steven Bochco?'"Bob-Waksberg told Slashfilm. "David Chase was like, 'Yeah, I’ll do it.'"
