What We Know So Far About 'Archer' Season 6
Slater stopped by Today last week to discuss his character and more.
The actor happened to be a huge fan of the Adam Reed created adult animated series before he even got tapped to join it.
"Just a huge fan and got a call from Adam Reed. Maybe he heard that I was a fan and we ended up talking. He said, 'Would you ever like to do something on the show?' I said, 'Of course!'" Slater explained.
"Then he created this Slater character," he shared, adding, "I love the name, I love the guy, I love the secret identity."
Slater went on to describe the series as "push-the-envelope type of show."
"It's funny, it's witty, it's sardonic, it's crazy. It just turns this whole spy world on its head a little bit and Archer's a great character; always very witty and charming. He's just a beautifully animated character. I just love this guy."
That bit of information led to Slater admitting, "Yeah, I have a crush on Archer."
"That's my man crush!" Slater divulged with a smile, adding, "The cat's out of the bag. That's my man crush."
Archer airs Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
