Butcher is one of the show’s protagonists, whose main mission in the series is to expose the corruption underpinning the show’s superheroes, and avenge the death of his wife.
For his role as Billy Butcher, Urban has received a Critics Choice Super Award nomination and a Hollywood Critics Association Television Award nomination, as well as nominations for best ensemble from the IGN Awards.
Created by Eric Kripke and adapted from the Garth Ennis comics, The Boys is a refreshing take on the superhero genre.
It centres on a corrupt superhero corporation and the tireless efforts of a few ordinary men and women who wish to take them down.
The series, which has been nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, is now on its third season and a fourth season on the way.
