Butler was born in Paisley, Scotland. He is the son of Margaret and Edward Butler and is the youngest of 3 children.1 He spent the first few years of his life in Canada before returning to Scotland to live.citation needed He was raised in a Roman Catholic working-class family.2
Auditions for the film Trainspotting inspired him to become an actor. He left everything he had and went down to London where he was approached in a coffee shop by actor Steven Berkoff, who later appeared alongside Butler in Attila (2001/I) (TV), who gave him a role in a stage production of Coriolanus. After that Butler decided to give up law for acting. He was cast as Ewan McGregor's character Renton in the stage adaptation of Trainspotting. His film debut was as Billy Connolly's younger brother in Mrs. Brown (1997). While filming the movie in Scotland, he was enjoying a picnic with his mother, near the River Tay, when they heard the shouts of a young boy who had been swimming with a friend who was in some trouble. Butler jumped in and saved the young boy from drowning for which he received a Certificate of Bravery from the Royal Humane Society.
His film career continued with small roles, first in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and then Russell Mulcahy's Tale of the Mummy (1998). In 2000, Butler was cast in two breakthrough roles, the first being Attila the Hun in USA film Attila (2001/I) (TV). The film's producers wanted a known actor to play the part but kept coming back to Butler's screen tests and decided he was their man. He had to lose the thick Scottish accent for the role. Around the time Attila was being filmed, casting was in progress for Wes Craven's new take on the Dracula legacy. Also wanting a known name, Butler wasn't much of a consideration. He sent them a clip of his portrayal of Attila and was cast in the form of Butler in Dracula 2000 (2000). Attila's producers finished shooting a little early so he could get to work on Dracula 2000. Attila ended up being the second highest-rated TV movie ever. Following these two roles, Butler developed a fan base, an Internet site and began appearing on numerous lists.
Since then he has appeared in Reign of Fire (2002) as Creedy and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) as Terry Sheridan, alongside Angelina Jolie. The role of Andre Marek in the big-screen adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Timeline (2003) attracted attention from both moviegoers and movie makers. Butler played an archaeologist who was sent back in time with a team of students to rescue a colleague. He went on to appear in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera (2004), playing the title character in the successful adaptation of the stage musical. It was a role that brought him much international attention. Other projects that followed include Dear Frankie (2004), The Game of Their Lives (2005) and Beowulf & Grendel (2005).
In 2007, he starred as Spartan King Leonidas in the Warner Bros. production 300 (2007), based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, and Butterfly on a Wheel (2007) co-starring Pierce Brosnan and Maria Bello, which aired on network TV under the title Shattered. In 2007, he starred in P.S. I Love You with Academy Award-winner Hilary Swank .
In 2008, he appeared in Nim's Island (2008) and RocknRolla (2008). More recently he has also starred in the Mark Neveldine / Brian Taylor film Gamer, The Ugly Truth and Law Abiding Citizen.
Butler supports Kids Kicking Cancer(US) and CLIC Sargent(UK) both of which are children's cancer charities. In the Spring of 2006 he adopted a Pug named Lolita. He has various interests, one of which being football. He supports the Scottish team Celtic FC. His other interests include traveling, hiking and running. While studying Law at Glasgow University Butler was in a band by the name of Speed who recorded 3 songs and had a residency at the Edinburgh Festival.citation needed
