Adam Reed is a writer and producer best known for FX's animated comedy series ARCHER (2009-present). He is also the voice of gay-and-fabulous ISIS agent Ray Gillette, Capitaine Ray, and Bilbo.
ARCHER has received positive reviews from critics and won multiple awards including three Primetime Emmy Awards and four Critics Choice Awards. The series has also received 15 Annie Award nominations, among others, for outstanding achievement in animation, writing, direction, and voice acting. At the San Diego Comic-Con 2018, it was announced the tenth season will be titled ARCHER: 1999.
Reed was born and raised in the beautiful mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina, where he spent his formative years being shooed away from the television.
He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in English and (almost, were it not for one lousy F) minored in Drama. After graduation from UNC in 1992, he began to pursue his lifelong dream of pestering his awesome older sister, Anna, to get him a job in her division at Turner Broadcasting.
Adam moved to Turner's Cartoon Network in 1994, where he began working with Matt Thompson on the seminal High-Noon Toons. After leaving Cartoon Network in 1996 - rather abruptly, during production of A.M. Mayhem with Carrot Top - Adam and Matt moved to New York, where they spent a year in the sordid underbelly of daytime talk shows before founding 70-30 Productions.
From 2001 to 2008, they helmed the somewhat-popular SEALAB 2021 and FRISKY DINGO on Adult Swim. Adam left 70-30 Productions in 2008 to stagger across the sun-blasted interior of Spain for some reason, and while doing so had the idea for ARCHER, which FX was cool enough to buy.
Adam founded Atlanta-based Floyd County Productions in 2008. He also enjoys motorcycling and a cat.
