Recurring Characters
- Skyler (Azura Skye), Jackie's editor and a trendy, superficial bitch.
- Mitchell (Patrick Bristow), Skyler's sycophantic assistant, who is openly rude to Jackie.
- Jeanette Woodman (Mary Kay Place), Jackie's passive-agressive mother. She is first heard in season one over the phone and embodied by a turtle in a peyote hallucination. In season two, she visits Jackie twice, annoying Jackie incessantly in the process.
- Angela Birnbaum (Colleen Camp), Jackie's occasional agent. She is quick to trust, love, and overestimate anyone she comes into contact with.
- Cheryl (Octavia Spencer), a wisecracking security guard at Tara's production company.
- Darryl (Rashaan Nall), Jackie's apartment building handyman in season one.
- Lars Ahlstrom (Hugh Davidson), Tara's misogynistic boss in season two.
- Jim Fig (Jon Kinnally), Jackie's hunky downstairs neighbor who moonlights as a serial killer. He randomly appears throughout season two, usually in passing as Jackie sees him outside. His appearances are followed with non sequitur glimpses of him torturing abductees or disposing of bodies. His motives are never explained or brought to the attention of Jackie or any other character.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
