Archer‘s beautiful Lana Kane is voiced by the equally stunning Aisha Tyler, whose past credits include stand up comedy, Friends, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Criminal Minds, voices in several video games, and 24. Her recent role in Archer has her breathing life into a gorgeous animated field agent who has now taken on the role of a mother, as she has had a child with long term flame, the titular character.
Ms. Tyler was present at San Diego Comic-Con to do press for the hit FX shows, answering all the questions thrown at her about Lana. Tyler comments on the real life elements being put into her character, what she wants for Lana’s future, and drinking habits of both the actress and the animated agent.
