Butch McCain is an American actor, broadcaster, writer, producer and one half of the singing songwriting team, The McCain Brothers. Butch has appeared numerous films including MGM's cult classic ''Bio-Dome'', Roger Corman's remake of ''Humanoids from the Deep'', and in Bruce Campbell's ''My Name Is Bruce'', where he played dual roles as the singing sheriff and a unibrowed farmer. Butch and his brother Ben, also wrote and performed the theme song for ''My Name is Bruce'', "The Legend of Gaun-Di". Butch has made numerous appearances in comedy skits on NBC's ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' and ''The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show'' on Fox. == Early life == Born in Muleshoe, Texas, and raised on a farm near Bovina in Parmer County, Texas, Butch and his older brother, Ben, were encouraged by their parents, Rose and Leslie McCain, to pursue their interests in performing and athletics while also helping on the family farm. While in high school in 1975, Butch started working at radio station KLVT in Levelland, Texas. He worked his way through South Plains College with two part-time jobs, a roustabout in the oil fields for Mobile Oil during the afternoons and as a disc jockey at night. After graduating from South Plains College he transferred to West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas, and quickly found work at KGNC Radio in Amarillo doing afternoon drive. After graduating from WTSU, Butch was encouraged by his brother, Ben, to get into local television. Butch's first TV job was in 1979 as weekend sports anchor at CBS affiliate KFDA-TV in Amarillo, Texas. He was soon offered a weekday position of anchoring and doing the weather for the morning show. A few months later Butch accepted a job to be the prime time weatherman. Months later, Butch accepted the evening weather anchor position at KLTV in Tyler, Texas in 1980. In 1981, Butch was offered a weather anchor job in Oklahoma City at the same station where his brother worked. Butch jumped at the chance. The McCain Brothers teamed up to do a morning show in Oklahoma City from 1981 to 1994 at NBC affiliate KTVY (now KFOR-TV) and eventually at ABC affiliate KOCO-TV, where they also anchored that station's noon newscast. The McCain Brothers, with Ben anchoring the news and Butch forecasting the weather, hosted a morning TV show for 12 years (six each on KTVY and KOCO), at one time attracting a 58 share, according to Nielsen in 1984. The McCain Brothers moved to California in the summer of 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Butch McCain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
