Sterling Archer
Sterling Malory Archer (often simply referred to as Archer) is the title character and the main protagonist of the American animated comedy series Archer. For the first four seasons, he is a special agent of the intelligence agency ISIS (International Secret Intelligence Service), working at the agency's main headquarters in New York City. After ISIS is shut down by the FBI, Archer joins some of his former co-workers into a life of crime, trying to sell a tonne of cocaine. Archer was created by series creator Adam Reed, who began working on the character shortly after the conclusion of the television series Frisky Dingo. The character is voiced by actor H. Jon Benjamin.
Largely influenced by Ian Fleming's vision of James Bond, Archer has been described as pompous, misogynist, egotistical, and attractive. The character is highly promiscuous, often verging on hypersexual proportions, and is a heavy alcoholic. His habitual use of alcohol can be seen as a parallel to Bond, who was an ardent drinker and smoker throughout much of the James Bond novels. A portion of the show's plot has been devoted to Archer searching for his biological father, which has resulted in growing tensions between him and his mother Malory Archer.
Throughout the series' run, the character has received positive reviews from critics. Similarly, critics have commended Benjamin's voicework, citing his delivery and distinctive monotone voice as highlights of the show. For his portrayal, he has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and an Annie Award for Voice Acting in a Television Production.
Archer was born in Tangier, Morocco as the only child of Malory Archer, a retired special agent and the CEO of the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). As an adult he is a blue eyed, black haired Caucasian male who weighs 184 pounds and is 6'2" in height. He is named for the sterling silver baby rattle then-barman (later valet) Woodhouse gave his mother shortly after she gave birth to him, explaining that "a clapped-out Arab whore traded it for a pint" at his bar. For most of his life, Archer believed that his biological father passed away when he was three years old; however, Malory reveals that John Fitzgerald Archer was a fake identity she created, and the true identity of Archer's father is the subject of more than one episode. Russian colonel Nikolai Jakov receives the most screen time, but it could also be O.D.I.N. director Len Trexler, American jazz drummer Bernard "Buddy" Rich.
