Its not hard to see why they would want Jon Hamm to step into the role of Sterling Archer for a live-action adaptation of the Archer series.
Archer Executive Producer Matt Thompson recently spoke to The Daily Beast and admitted that they have a particular actor in mind to embody Sterling Archer if they ever decide to make a live-action film:If Archer goes live-action, I do believe it will be Jon Hamm.
If Archer ever does get a live-action adaptation, then we can think of no better actor to take on the role than Jon Hamm.
Aside from the immense physical similarities between Jon Hamm and Sterling Archer, its hard to deny that Hamm has become one of the most consistently reliable comedic actors working today.
