When the film with Paul Newman was made they said, in all the hype, that Roy Parker had been an apprentice butcher in his teens - hence "Butch" - and had taken up with a local man called Cassidy after falling out with his own family. He used the name, from then on, as a sort of pseuodonym in his criminal activities.
