Hearing the voice of archer being this reserved and quiet is genuinely unsettling. He seems like a pretty chill guy.

I completely understand. It's really a trip seeing him and hearing his voice. I have not watched Bob's Burgers for years. My 8 year old son just got into it a while back. But, thanks to Netflix, we've seen them all at least once. I've never watched Archer, but heard a commercial on in the background and it was like "Bob!!" 😜🍔🙂

Austin Hennessey I'm not sure he particularly liked that interviewer. I know if I was interviewing someone, I would definitely make sure I get their name right to their face. I get picky about my name, and while that annoys some people that call me by the nickname I refuse to employ anymore, it's still MY name. If people won't take the time or have the courtesy to get it right, they deserve to be ridiculed. For an interviewer to get Mr. Benjamin's name wrong seems very unprofessional, like his interviewee doesn't matter much.

I am also extremely surprised he has not been asked to do game roles. Moreover, why in the hell has no one made an Archer game?! I imagine Uncharted style but cell shaded to look exactly like the show. If only Naughty Dog could do that... would be so cool! It could have a story that sort of pieces together different "missions" from the show, or Adam could do something original. I can dream...
