Casting Call: Live Action Archer Movie
Mallory Archer – Hellen Mirren
If I cared about what you do on the weekend I’d stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger with my toes.
Malory Archer is the H.B.I.C. (yeah, I said it!) or maybe the Chief Executive Officer of ISIS. Malory reigns over her employees with kantian ethics and a booze-filled logic. Malory is the emasculating mother to Sterling Archer, who not only gave him the middle name “Malory” but also the codename “Duchess” after her late afghan hound by the same name.
The person who invokes the most similar personality and brings the right look would be Helen Mirren. Take her British classiness and her “Red” espionage skills and you have an acutely accurate live-action Malory Archer. She’ll just have to work on her American socialite accent.
Sidenote: This may have been Ryan’s pick… I was going with either Diane Lane or Dame Judi Dench.

Given Henry Cavill’s recent performance in “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” I can see that he has the potential to be one “super” (I couldn’t help myself) Archer. Given that “Archer” is loosely modeled on/Inspired by the original “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” TV series and classic 007 films, I’d say you have a lot to support your case. I just like Dylan McDermott because he has the look, a gravelly voice (although I would also appreciate a H. Jon Benjamin over-dub), and a prick-ish on-screen persona that seems to fit in with the Archer character. What’d you think about some of… Read more »
Lauren Ash would also be a good Pam.
Cheryl did not change her name to appease her co-workers! She changed it to amuse herself with whatever whim she had a the moment. The side effect was confused co-workers.
