Whitfield is an orderly at Pastiches Rehab, cheerful yet dispassionate, providing care for patients without much emotional investment. He appears in Season 6, helping characters like BoJack deal with their stay at the rehabilitation center.
BoJack and Whitfield’s dynamic is relatively surface-level compared to BoJack’s relationships with other key characters. Whitfield often comes across as bizarre and unsettling, while BoJack, already dealing with his own issues like addiction and emotional instability, finds him odd but doesn’t engage with him deeply.
During his journey to self-discovery, BoJack briefly becomes an acting teacher at Wesleyan University. His class is a mix of sincerity, bitterness, and deep personal reflection as he attempts to pass on his lessons in the entertainment industry. His teaching reflects his own struggles with fame, addiction, and the need for approval.
