Archer: 10 Best Supporting Characters

5. Slater

As a CIA operative who first appears as an undercover arms dealer in the show's fifth season, Archer: Vice, Slater is the fictional, mononymic, Archer universe iteration of A-list actor Christian Slater (Mr Robot, Heathers, True Romance).

Showing up to recruit the ex-ISIS team on a variety of CIA-backed covert missions during the Vice season, Slater quickly gets drawn into their hi-jinks and is frequently made a somewhat unwilling accomplice in the madness that ensues. When the gang get reestablished as ISIS, he is then the official CIA liaison to the agency - and his sanity pays the price.

The t-shirt Slater is almost always seen in is for Cuong's Motorbike Adventures in Hanoi, Vietnam, which happens to be a real-life motorbike tour company.
