ICON: Archer on FX
Archer on FX. He's the man with the plan. Well, maybe not the ENTIRE plan, but he gets the job done. Image from http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/archer/download.php.
Smooth. Suave. Debonaire. Intelligent. Cunning. Handsome. Well-dressed.
Well, at least one of those adjectives describes Archer on FX, our latest ESM Icon.
According to the official Archer on FX website:
Rakish and reckless, suave and sarcastic, Sterling Archer (Codename: Duchess) is the world’s greatest secret agent.
According to Sterling Archer.
Archer’s colleagues at ISIS – including his boss, Malory, who is also his mother; his partner, Lana, who is also his ex-girlfriend; and every other person in the building, to whom he’s just usually a colossal tool – would probably describe him in less flattering terms.
Like colossal tool, for example.
But after meeting Archer’s mother, it’s hard to blame him for not always being the easiest person to get along with. That person would probably be Woodhouse, Archer’s ancient valet (to whom Archer is, constantly and without fail, a colossal tool).
Women just swoon for him, though. But that might just be due to his luxuriously thick head of hair, his steely blue eyes, or abs you could wash your laundry on if only he would let you.
Which he probably wouldn’t: it would seem too much like work to him

To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
[...] And our all-time favorite: Archer. [...]
