 * Wally Wilson (voiced by Jason Marsden): BJ's adoptive brother and best friend. He is a clumsy, empathetic, but smart boy who is willing to trust and befriend anyone.
 * Alan Wilson (voiced by Cam Clarke) BJ's paranoid, eccentric, but well-meaning 20-year old brother.
 * Janet Wilson (voiced by Kat Cressida): the caring mother of BJ, Wally, and Alan. Her husband is never seen or mentioned; therefore it is deductible that they are either divorced or he is deceased.

Production
BJ and Wally was created by Geo G. and developed by Geo and Jim Anderson, and was the second animated series produced by Geo's company Glass Ball Productions (formerly known as Double G Productions), which also created the animated show Gabriel Garza. The show was conceived in early 1991 after Geo was approached by the network Gingo to create a follow-up series to Gabriel Garza since the beginning of that series, and was eager to collaborate with Anderson, a storyboard artist on Gabriel, on the project.

Originally, the show was called The Zone and its two protagonists were an unmarried couple nicknamed "Blue Boy and Yellow Girl", who originally appeared in drawings Geo had been doing ever since he was in college. Before adapting the drawings into a television series, there had been other options considered such as a feature film, a children's book, a comic strip, video games, and even characters for Gabriel Garza. When Geo and Anderson pitched the project to Gingo, chairman Michael Wildshill felt its protagonists were too similar to that of Gabriel and Claire Jones' relationship in Gabriel Garza and did not want this show to be too derivative. Thus, Geo and Anderson made the decision to retool The Zone with alternative protagonists. Blue Boy and Yellow Girl were scrapped and replaced with a nerd and his adoptive brother eventually known as BJ and Wally, who were already in Geo's old drawings before later becoming minor side characters in The Zone; Blue Boy and Yellow Girl were later reintegrated into the titular protagonists of DreamWorks Animation's Dusk and Dawn, in which Geo himself was involved. Geo and Anderson then showed the revised idea to Wildshill, who approved its new look and the series was eventually green-lit.
