Butcher made his acting debut in an episode of the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, playing a police constable in a 1988 episode.[1] Then from 1990 to 1997, Butcher portrayed PC Steve Loxton in The Bill, returning for a one-off in 1999. He then went on to play Marc Eliot in the BBC soap opera Doctors from 2001 to 2005.[2] Later in 2005, Butcher portrayed the guest role of Tim Gaskill in fellow BBC medical series Casualty.[3] He has also guest starred in Holby City, Peak Practice, Heartbeat, Bugs, The Mrs Bradley Mysteries, and Dangerfield.[3] In 2010, Butcher portrayed the lead role of Mike in the urban horror thriller Cherry Tree Lane.[4]
Butcher married his former Doctors co-star Corrinne Wicks in November 2005.[5][6] They got married at Berrow Court in Edgbaston, a location where they had filmed together on Doctors. In 2010, she revealed that the pair did not like each other when they first began working together. However, after their on-screen characters got together romantically, it meant they worked more closely and began an off-screen relationship. Although happily married, the pair did not live together the first seven years of marriage: he lived in London, while she continued to live at her home in Birmingham. Wicks explained that initially, she liked her home too much to move.[7]
