Archer Features More Arrested Development Stars Than You Probably Thought

First up is Judy Greer, aka “Archers” Cheryl Tunt, the absent-minded and pain-loving administrator of the spy agency. In “Arrested Development” she played Kitty Sanchez, the secretary and lover of George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor).

Speaking of Tambor, after playing the Bluth family patriarch, Archer brought him in to play Len Trexler, head of rival ISIS agency ODIN and former lover of Malory — likely due to Tambor and Walter’s past chemistry in Arrested development”.

Next up is David Cross, aka Tobias Funke from Arrested Development. In “Archer” he played the anthropology student Noah, who was captured by pirates.

JK Simmons had roles on both shows. In an episode of Arrested Development he played General Anderson, a former lover of Lucille. He voiced the dimwitted Detective Harris on Season 7’s Archer.

Gary Cole played CIA agent Richard Shaw in Arrested Development (who follows Michael, GOB and Buster to Iraq) and FBI Special Agent Hawley in Archer (who raided ISIS headquarters).

Detroit’s Sam Richardson played a TSA agent in the 2013 reboot of Arrested Development and the alien Bort in Archer season 10.

Jack McBrayer from “30 Rock” played a waiter at the country club for the Bluth family and Randy, a relative of Ray Gillette (Adam Reed).

Finally, “Human Giant”‘s Rob Huebel played a home inspector in “Arrested Development” and Canadian assassin Patrick “Crash” McCaren in “Archer” (via IMDb).
