Beetlejuice is a trickster and mischievous ghost. He is the main antagonist of the first Beetlejuice movie and is the main protagonist of the animated TV series. He will then be that of the upcoming sequel. 

According to Beetlejuice, he attended Julliard, is a graduate of the Harvard Business School, traveled quite extensively, lived through the Black Plague (and had a pretty good time during that), and has seen "The Exorcist" about 167 times (and it keeps getting funnier every single time he's seen it, not to mention the fact they're talking to the dead guy). Parts of his qualifications including attending Julliard, graduating from Harvard, and extensive travel are all real life accomplishments. This and other lines were improvised during filming and it is possible that the character of Beetlejuice was lying about certain elements of his past for comedic effect with the Maitlands.

What is known for certain is that Juno warns that he is a troublemaker and does not work well with others. He went out on his own as a freelance bio-exorcist, claiming he could get rid of the living, and got into more trouble.

Beetlejuice used advertisements (such as flyers, business cards and a commercial, where he said some questionable things about chewing and swallowing) to get the Maitlands to hire him as a "bio-exorcist" to rid their house of the Deetzes. They thought it was odd that the business card and flyers contained no address or phone number. The Maitlands summon him when they learn that he can be summoned if his name is said 3 times in a row. When that happened he disappeared into dust.
