biography
Dark-haired, impish-looking Joe Butterworth, the youngest of the three acting Butterworth kids, made an unforgettable juvenile nemesis to Mary Pickford's feisty Little Annie Rooney (1922). Earlier, Butterworth had played important roles in Heroes of the Street (1923) and Penrod and Sam ([1923] as Sam to Ben Alexander's Penrod) but his subsequent films were low-budget potboilers. His family hailed from Lancashire in the U.K., and Joe Butterworth was the son of D.W. Griffith bit player Ernest Butterworth Sr.
