Casting Call: Live Action Archer Movie
Ray Gillette – Neil Patrick Harris
Well, except for Randy Muckler, who, turns out, was just leading me on to get out of the draft, so I made a phone call to the draft board and now who’s laughing Mr. Hooks For Hands.
Ray, being one of the more optimistic agents, has taken a lot of his mis-dealings in stride… or roll? From the multiple crippling accidents and near life incidents often caused by Archers brazen attitude Ray has remained a trustworthy friend. The razor witted (see what I did there?) field agent is not always so squeaky clean. He’s used company money to fund his Malaysian sex slave habit, in addition to hurling acerbic insults at his co-workers (mostly Archer).
For the combo of witty and sh*tty (let me finish) I would say with certainty that NPH is the man for the job. When I say sh*tty I am referring to his moral compass in shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and Joss Whedon’s prelude to “The Avengers,” “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog.” Add the looks and you have the perfect live action Ray Gillette, man’s man… “Phrasing.”

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.
