About Tim Butler

Tim Butler was an American actor who appeared in only one known film credit, the 1976 horror film 'Track of the Moon Beast.' His career appears to have been extremely brief, consisting solely of this single role in what became a cult classic B-movie. Very little is documented about his life or career beyond this one appearance, suggesting he may have been a local actor or someone who briefly dabbled in film without pursuing it as a long-term career. The film itself was a low-budget production that gained a small following among horror enthusiasts years after its release. Butler's contribution to cinema, while minimal, represents the countless supporting actors who appeared in exploitation films of the 1970s. His story illustrates the transient nature of many acting careers in low-budget filmmaking during this era.
