Biography

Né dans une famille baignant dans le milieu du cinéma (sa sœur est actrice, sa tante est agent d'acteurs), Adam Butcher se lance tout naturellement dans une carrière d'acteur dès l'âge de 9 ans.

Habitué de séries télévisées, il franchit le pas du grand écran en décrochant à 15 ans le rôle-titre de Ralph, long-métrage récompensé dans de nombreux festivals, et qui reste à ce jour son plus grand succès public et critique. Il a été nommé au Prix Génie 2005 du meilleur acteur pour Ralph.

Sa carrière prend un tournant lorsqu'il est choisi au pied levé pour interpréter Butch dans Dog Pound, un rôle de prisonnier mineur très violent. Le rôle était d'abord dévolu à l'artiste de hip-hop K'Naan qui se désistait trois jours avant le premier coup de manivelle, pour se consacrer entièrement à son album .
