VIDEO : Who Will Play Billy Butcher In Amazon?s 'The Boys'?

Amazon is set to bring Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson?s The Boys to television, and will do so with Karl Urban in a lead role. The series has been in the works for some time now, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg first looking to Cinemax as a potential home for the hyper-violent superhero series. A lot has changed since then, with Amazon stepping up to deliver the series and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke jumping on board as creator and showrunner. Since the announcement The Boys was headed to Amazon to not only take advantage of the studio?s incredibly deep pockets, but also the freedom from restrictions, as far as mature content is concerned, things have been moving at a steady pace, with a number of casting announcements being made.
