Sterling Archer

He's the world's finest secret agent. By which we mean he's a bungling loose cannon who should have died ten times over.

Super-spy Sterling Archer is slick, suave and unbelievably narcissistic. And though he may glide through a world of crisp suits, fast cars, powerful firearms and loose women, he's still working for his mother under the highly unfortunate secret code name of "Duchess".

Known for saying anything to get a woman into bed, and for saying nothing complimentary to them the morning after, Archer is loathed by his ex-girlfriend Lana and lusted after by his mother's bonkers secretary, Cheryl.

Most likely to say: "If I find one little dog hair when I get back, I'll rub sand in your dead little eyes. I also need you to go buy sand."

H. Jon Benjamin - who voices Archer - has appeared in Rescue Me, Parks and Recreation, and also provides the voice of Carl in Family Guy.
