  • Professor Archimedes Q. Porter is a character from Disney's 1999 animated feature film, Tarzan. He is the intelligent father of Jane Porter.
  • He is voiced by the late legendary Nigel Hawthorne. Professor Porter was an incredibly brilliant, yet also very eccentric, ditsy and excitable man. However, he was also very kind, helpful and friendly and he loved his daughter, Jane, very much. He had much fascination and knowledge about zoology and primates, particularly gorillas, and he had much care for them, as he is shown to be infuriated upon knowing Clayton's true intentions for them. He is also very brave, as he rushes in with Tantor to confront Clayton and help Tarzan battle him and his men.
  • Archimedes was an eccentric but well-meaning man who loved his daughter and wanted her to be happy. He urged her to follow her heart and return to live with Tarzan and, shortly afterwards, he decided to return himself. This shows he had a strong paternal side. He had a good relationship with his son-in-law but also seemed to be slightly paranoid which was shown when he suspected Tarzan might be a spy despite the fact that there was no point in having a spy in the jungle. In the episode "One Punch Mulligan", it is revealed he is somewhat sexist, as shown when Tarzan refused to fight, Porter asked if it had anything to do with Jane and then asked Tarzan who wore the pants in their family, which Tarzan (not understanding he was asking who was the dominant one in the relationship) said no one
