‘Witchblade’ Star Gives Dad A Role For Father’s Day



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Witchblade star Yancy Butler may have just checked into alcohol rehab but she’s still giving her dad a gift for Father’s Day – an acting role. The TNT action series has temporarily suspended production but makes its season premiere June 16, which is also Father’s Day. Accordingly, the episode features Butler’s dad, former Lovin’ Spoonful drummer, Joe Butler, in a bit part. Yancy may be Witchblade’s star but she felt more like a “personal assistant” when her dad was on set because he was “so sweet and so nervous” about doing things right. One problem did arise. Yancy says her drumming dad is so used to performing on stage that “...he thinks he did badly if people don’t clap.” However, Yancy says she doesn’t plan to ever try to sit in as a musician because, “I can’t carry a tune. I’ve got my father’s feet and my mother’s voice.”
