History[]
Diary of a Wimpy Kid[]
Archie signs up to be a tree, along with Greg Heffley and another kid.[1][2]During one rehearsal, he trips over Rodney James and chips his tooth because he couldn't use his arms to break his fall due to the costume not having openings for their arms. As a result, the school lets the tree actors carve arm holes in their costumes.[3][4]
During the forest scene of The Wizard of Oz play, Greg deflects Manny Heffley calling him "Bubby" to Archie's attention by referring him by that nickname. He sings the first few lines of the song "We Three Trees" but realizing Greg isn't singing, he stops singing as well which Greg believes is because the other trees think he knows something they don't. After Greg throws an apple at Patty Farrell, the other trees including Archie join in, which leads to the play being shut down after someone broke Patty's glasses.[5][6]
The day after the play, Greg spots him being hassled by some bullies about the "Bubby" nickname after fifth period.[7][8]
Rodrick Rules (2011 film)[]
He can be seen when Greg starts the Invisible Chirag joke.
