182 lb, 6'2", 36 years old, and is considered the world's most dangerous secret agent. Though he shows proficiency in stereotypical spy skills—weapons, driving, martial arts—his only real interest in the job is the opportunity to enjoy a jet-setting lifestyle full of sex, alcohol, fast cars and spy toys. A recurring joke of the show is Archer forgetting his pre-planned, witty one-liners, swearing "I had something for this" before saying something different. He also refuses to wear anything other than "tactical" turtlenecks during operations (he will take the time to change into one rather than immediately disarming a bomb), and claims he was the first to recognize the garment's tactical potential. Archer also has an intense fascination with the actor Burt Reynolds, often quoting famous lines and re-enacting scenes from Reynolds' many movies and asking Lana Kaneconstantly if he looks like Reynolds. Even though he's not the brightest person, rival agents admit that no one is better in the field than Archer. Because of this, Archer is equally likely to kill a room full of enemy agents as he is to accidentally cause an international disaster. He seems to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of things which are completely irrelevant allowing him to make very witty references on a moment's notice (e.g. "Lana, you better call Kenny Loggins 'cause you're in the uh, Danger Zone!"). He was largely raised by his valet Woodhouse, whom he constantly belittles.

To act in an amazing yet compleatly self serving manner that, allthought helps other people,was done FOR THE SOUL BENEFIT OF YOUR SELF (be it an act of verbal social skill, physical accumen or mental wit) Also known to be likened too "shit I had something for this!"

Also a term for going on a rampage where you silently and secretly eliminate every oppositional force in your way- WITHOUT drawing attention to your self. (LIKE : local police, federal crime investigators)
