Most of Comic - Con is expend either hold back in business line or huddled in crowded room , so the chance to see a unrecorded reading of an Archer episode aboard a yacht tail just behind the convention center was a welcome deviation . The integral form of FX ’s liven secluded agent / drug top banana / private - detective series was there , with special guest Christian Slater serving as narrator .
The chosen installment was season six ’s “ Vision Quest , ” also known as “ the one where everyone gets stupefy in an elevator . ” The cast picked hearing members to voice Milton ( the mobile toaster ) and the sassy 911 operator , and they were off , as images from the ep were externalize behind them .
“ Vision Quest ” was the perfect choice , since it ’s almost all duologue and no action ( unless forcing Cyril to transfer his sweater waistcoat , or Pam glugging the entire content of her 40 - apothecaries' ounce beer , count as “ action mechanism ” ) . And at the very ending , Jessica Walter , who did n’t ab initio appear onstage , materialize to deliver Mallory Archer ’s very brief ( but crucial ) lines for the episode .
The performance was very funny , but the good part of the event was the behind - the - scenes stories , both unwritten and prompted by audience questions .
In response to a question about why the Archer characters look similar , yet not identical , to the actors who sound them , Reed say that they were in reality created with the actors in judgement . But when it came prison term to actually take off animating , model who resembled the actors were hire as reference , since the show is made in Atlanta and most of them live in New York or Los Angeles .
Of naturally , this led into some joking at the disbursement of H. Jon Benjamin , who is woefully ( and soundly - naturedly ) aware that he ’s the one exception , since he does n’t at all physically resemble Sterling Archer .
Here ’s another story that captures the grouping ’s easy dynamic , partake in by Aisha Tyler ( Lana Kane ):
Archer Live ! has toured in the past ( though this was its first time being performed on a gravy boat ) , so hopefully it ’ll bechance again so that fans who were n’t alongside at Comic - Con can share in the experience .
