Best Actors to pull off each role? ... Looks wise also!
Rebel Wilson = Pam without question!
“It’s Jon Hamm,” says Thompson, firmly. “If Archer goes live-action, I do believe it will be Jon Hamm. Maybe you could do it with Jon Benjamin’s voice coming out of him? I don’t know. Adam is always like, ‘I don’t know if I want the movie to be live-action because I want it to be Jon Benjamin!’ But if it is live-action—and if it is not Jon Benjamin—it is our greatest hope that it would be Jon Hamm. I can say that with confidence.”
“We’re working on a way to create an H. Jon Hamm Benjamin hybrid,” he told me, while also expanding a bit on how much Archer was influenced by the look of Mad Men. “The production and costume design obviously owe a great deal to Mad Men’s repopularizing the 1960s aesthetic, and Archer’s character model is just lucky enough to be that handsome in real life. Which is probably why he’s a model, now that I think about it.”
Ryan Reynolds for Archer
Judy Greer for Cheryl
Alisha Tyler for Lana
Good call on Rebel Wilson for Pam
Seth Rogan for Kreger
I got to think about the rest
Morris Chestnut is Conway. Why would you need Jamie?We need antagonists so:
Ewan McGregor as Barry
Jamie Foxx as Conway
I'm still trying to think about who would play Woodhouse and Cyril
Ryan Reynolds would NOT make a good Archer. He could be a good Barry.Ryan Reynolds for Archer

Jon Hamm is Archer. Maybe Dylan McDermott.
Jessica Walter is Malory of course.
Judy Greer could stay Cheryl even though Cheryl is supposed to be hot.
Chris Parnell stays Cyril.
Yates could stay Krieger.
McCarthy could be a good Pam.
Neil Patrick Harris as Ray.
I hate to say it but Aisha not cute enough to be Lana at this point and that’s a signature for Lana. But her height is also a signature for Lana as well which Aisha does have. Lana would be the hardest person to recast. I’d say Archer is but Benjamin can’t play him at all so it goes without saying Archer is recasted. Where can they find a 6ft tall lightskin brawd who is very pretty but very fit...and can act.
