Wes Archer

Wesley "Wes" Meyer Archer (born November 26, 1961) is a television animation director. He was one of the original three animators (along with David Silverman and Bill Kopp) on The Simpsons' Tracey Ullman shorts and subsequently directed a number of Simpsons episodes (most of which had John Swartzwelder as an episode writer) before becoming supervising director at "King of the Hill" for many years. He is currently the supervising director on "The Goode Family". Archer's college animation film, "Jac Mac and Rad Boy, Go!" has long been a cult classic after receiving repeated airplay on USA Network's Night Flight in the 1980s. He studied at the Film Graphics/Experimental Animation Program at CalArts.
