Yancy Butler
I think she's the best thing about this movie. She's hilarious!
shareI didn't see the full movie does she say funny things. I found out this is the same woman that was in the TNT short lived comic book tv series Witchblade.
shareIt's a shame she can't kick the drugs. She could have had a good career.
shareI've never even heard of this woman and don't recognize her at all so I don't know where you guys are seeing her.
I mean is it a movie/show that more than 10 people watched?

Ah, well, if you haven't heard of her, that definitely makes it unfathomable that anyone else perhaps is familiar with her previous 34 movie and TV roles (including 4 popular TV series where she was the star) spanning 19 years (31 if you count the one-off she did as a kid in '79).
Sadly, yes, she developed a problem right in the middle of Witchblade, and they had to stop production (made even more sad because the show was going strong and winning all sorts of awards; in no danger of being cancelled). Still, she apparently recovered, or at least got to a point where she was able to resume her career. Unfortunately, that cost her dearly careerwise. She was a rising star, but that whole mess put a damper on it, so she's gone about as high as she's ever gonna go. At least she only lost a little ground in the end, and things seem to have leveled off, but she's definitely never going to move any higher up the celebrity ladder now.
Nevertheless, she's done a lot of good work in the past.

Best known for the TV series "Witchblade" which ran two seasons starting in 2001, and which would have continued if she hadn't had a meltdown.
In 2002 she beat out Jessica Alba, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Claudia Black, and Gillian Anderson for the "Best Actress in a TV Series" Saturn award, which in the SF community is major.
She also was in "Brooklyn South" which ran only one season but I believe was fairly well known at the time. She's been in a few other short-lived series and had a stint on "As The World Turns", as well as quite a few movie parts.
Her first appearance as an adult was on "Law and Order" by the way, but it was for a single episode.
The most important and famous role Yancy Butler ever got is the JCVD classic movie Hard Target directed by John Woo..Witchblade & all are turds next to that one..So basically her career has been on the downward spiral since Hard Target
shareThe one award that movie ever got was a Saturn award for best supporting actor and Butler didn't get it. The one award that she has ever gotten was also a Saturn award, for best actress, for Witchblade. So one can hardly say that that movie was the high point of her career.
shareDon't forget Yancy's role in another SyFy straight-to-video classic, "Basilisk".
"The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen."
If you saw her you would remember her. She is beautiful in an above average way. I watched her in Witch Blade and then saw her in some made for TV movies. One in particular was very, very good. Too bad she got stuck in this piece of crap, but money comes in handy.
shareShe also played a robot cop in one of my favourite shows when I was younger, the equally short-lived Mann and Machine.
