Hey there, fellow Archer fans! Let's dive deep into the cast of Archer Season 13 Episode 5, a.k.a. "The Pineapple Incident." If you're anything like me, you're always itching to know who's lending their voice to our favorite dysfunctional spy agency. This episode, like all the others, is packed with the usual blend of witty dialogue, over-the-top action, and the incredibly talented voice cast that brings it all to life. So, buckle up, grab your favorite beverage (maybe a nice, stiff drink, considering the antics of our crew), and let's break down who you'll hear in this particular episode. We'll explore the mainstays, the returning guest stars, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes tidbits about the actors themselves. After all, knowing the cast is half the fun of watching Archer, right? Let's get started and see what secrets this episode holds, shall we?

The Core Crew: The Usual Suspects

First things first, let's talk about the core cast – the familiar voices that we've come to know and love (and sometimes, want to strangle, in the case of a certain Sterling Archer!). These are the folks who form the backbone of the show, the ones whose performances are so ingrained in the series that it's impossible to imagine Archer without them. They bring the characters to life, making us laugh, cringe, and occasionally, feel a little bit of empathy for these utterly bonkers individuals. These talented voice actors are the reason why we keep coming back for more, season after season.

Sterling Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin)

Of course, no discussion about the Archer cast would be complete without the man, the myth, the legend (and the narcissistic spy), Sterling Archer. H. Jon Benjamin, the voice behind the suave, yet utterly inept, super-spy, delivers another stellar performance in Episode 5. His ability to switch between arrogant bravado and moments of surprising vulnerability is what makes Archer such a compelling character. You can always count on Benjamin to deliver the perfect sarcastic quip or a ridiculously dramatic outburst, making every scene with Archer a guaranteed highlight. Seriously, the guy is Archer. It's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role. The way he delivers the iconic catchphrases, the sighs, the sheer exasperation – it's all pure comedic gold. And in "The Pineapple Incident," Archer is, as always, front and center, causing chaos and generally being his usual self.

Lana Kane (voiced by Aisha Tyler)

Aisha Tyler returns as the ever-capable Lana Kane, the voice of reason (well, sort of) in the chaotic world of Archer. Lana is the strong, intelligent, and often exasperated counterpoint to Archer's antics. Tyler's performance is consistently brilliant, bringing both gravitas and a healthy dose of humor to the role. She perfectly captures Lana's frustration with Archer, her loyalty to her friends, and her dedication to her job. In this episode, expect Lana to be the voice of reason, the one trying to keep the team from completely imploding (a task that's always easier said than done, of course). Tyler's delivery of Lana's dry wit and her ability to maintain a straight face while surrounded by lunacy are what make Lana such a fan favorite. She's the glue that holds the team together, even when they're actively trying to fall apart.

Malory Archer (voiced by the late Jessica Walter)

Malory Archer, the formidable head of ISIS (at least, for a while), is voiced by the legendary Jessica Walter. Walter's portrayal of Malory is nothing short of iconic, delivering sharp, witty, and often cruel lines with impeccable timing. While Jessica Walter sadly passed away, her voice continues to live on in this season and the following. Malory is the ultimate matriarch – a woman who is ruthless, manipulative, and yet, somehow, undeniably compelling. Walter's talent brought a complexity to Malory that made her more than just a villain; she was a force of nature. Every scene with Malory is a masterclass in comedic performance, and her presence is sorely missed. Rest in peace, Jessica Walter. Your legacy in Archer will forever be remembered.

Cyril Figgis (voiced by Chris Parnell)

Chris Parnell returns as Cyril Figgis, the perpetually nervous and often incompetent accountant turned field agent. Parnell's performance as Cyril is consistently hilarious, perfectly capturing Cyril's anxieties and his attempts to navigate the absurd world of espionage. Cyril's constant blunders, his awkwardness, and his desperate need for approval make him one of the most relatable characters on the show. In this episode, you can expect more of Cyril's fumbling attempts at being a spy, punctuated by moments of surprising (and often accidental) competence. Parnell's ability to wring comedy out of Cyril's insecurities is what makes him such a valuable part of the Archer ensemble. Cyril's evolution throughout the series is a testament to Parnell's skill as a voice actor.

Cheryl/Carol Tunt (voiced by Judy Greer)

Judy Greer brings her unique brand of eccentric energy to the role of Cheryl/Carol Tunt, the unpredictable and often deranged secretary. Greer's performance is consistently brilliant, perfectly capturing Cheryl's (or Carol's) bizarre behavior and her complete lack of social filters. Cheryl is a character of pure chaos, and Greer embraces that with gusto. Whether she's setting things on fire, hoarding animals, or just generally being weird, Cheryl is always a scene-stealer. In "The Pineapple Incident," expect Cheryl to deliver some of her signature brand of craziness, making the episode all the more memorable. Greer's commitment to the role and her ability to make Cheryl both hilarious and strangely endearing are what make her such a beloved character.

Pam Poovey (voiced by Amber Nash)

And last but not least, we have Amber Nash as the lovable Pam Poovey, the hard-drinking, hard-fighting, and fiercely loyal HR director. Nash's performance is phenomenal, bringing Pam's strength, vulnerability, and unwavering loyalty to life. Pam is the heart of the team, the one who always has everyone's back, no matter how crazy things get. Her no-nonsense attitude, her love for fighting, and her surprisingly sensitive side make her a fan favorite. In this episode, expect Pam to be her usual awesome self, likely getting into a fight or two and offering her support to the rest of the crew. Nash's performance is what makes Pam so memorable, and she's a crucial part of the Archer dynamic.
