MINI BIO:
A former law graduate and reporter, Butterworth turned to acting and brought his uniquely nervous manner to films with the coming of sound, together with a perennially dubious expression and a streak of fair hair that threatened to disappear from the top of his head. Often cast as vacillating rich bachelors who didn't get the girl. Killed in a car crash.
