<!--==Career==
Butterfield first started acting at the age of 7 on Friday afternoons after school at the [[Young Actors Theatre (Islington)|Young Actors Theatre]] in his hometown. A little later he first secured minor roles in the 2006 television drama ''[[After Thomas]]'' and the 2007 film ''[[Son of Rambow]]''.<ref name="production-notes" /><ref name="tvhits-interview">{{cite web|url=http://www.tvhits.co.uk/star_interview_arc.php?id=212|title=Star Interview: Asa Butterfield|work=TVhits.co.uk|accessdate=2009-01-20}}</ref> In 2008 he also had a guest role playing Donny in ''[[Ashes to Ashes (TV series)|Ashes to Ashes]]''.<ref name="bbc-ashes">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/ashestoashes/episodes/s1_ep6_episode.shtml|title=Ashes to Ashes: Series 1, Episode 6|publisher=BBC Online|accessdate=2009-01-20}}</ref><ref name="abc-review">{{cite news|url=http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=resources&id=6464390|title=Janet's Spotlight: "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas"|last=Davies|first=Janet|date=2008-10-23|publisher=ABC 7 News|accessdate=2009-01-20}}</ref>
In that same year he became known to the general public for his lead role in ''[[The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (film)|The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas]]''. Director [[Mark Herman]] said that they came across Butterfield early on in the audition process. He was on the first audition tape he received and he was the third hopeful he met in person. Herman thought Butterfield's performance was amazing, but only decided to cast him after auditioning hundreds of other boys, "so no stone was left unturned".<ref name="lastbroadcast">{{cite web|url=http://www.lastbroadcast.co.uk/movies/v/5698-the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas-casting-the-characters.html|title=The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas - Casting the characters|publisher=Last Broadcast|accessdate=2009-01-20}}</ref>
Producer [[David Heyman]] and director [[Mark Herman]] were looking for someone who was able to portray the main character's innocence, so they asked each of the children what they knew about the Holocaust. Butterfield's knowledge was slim and it was purposely kept that way throughout filming so it would be easier for him to convey his character's innocence. Contrary to common practice, the final scenes of the film were shot at the end of the production period to prepare both him and [[Jack Scanlon]] for the dramatic ending of the film.<ref name="mark-david-indielondon-interview">{{cite web|url=http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Film-Review/the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas-mark-herman-and-david-heyman-interview|title=The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas - Mark Herman and David Heyman interview|last=Carnevale|first=Rob|publisher=indieLondon|accessdate=2009-01-23}}</ref><ref name="irishtimes">{{cite news|url=http://www.johnboyne.com/articles/Pajama%20Drama.pdf|title=Pajama Drama|date=2007-06-01|work=The Irish Times|accessdate=2009-01-23}}</ref> He beat hundreds of boys to the role and also successfully passed the auditions for a role in ''[[Mr. Nobody (film)|Mr. Nobody]]'' for which he auditioned at the same time. He chose not to pursue the latter role.<ref name="tvhits-interview" />
In the 2008 ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' episode "[[The Beginning of the End (Merlin)|The Beginning of the End]]", he plays a young druid boy who is hunted by [[Uther Pendragon]] who wants to sentence him to death because he feels threatened by the boy's magic. Despite the Great Dragon's advice and the warning that Arthur cannot survive if the boy does, Merlin, with the help of [[Morgana]], helps the boy escape Camelot and returns him to the druids. When they are about to disappear into the forest Arthur asks him for his name. The druid boy identifies himself as [[Mordred]].<ref name="bbcone-listing">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ffv90|title=Programmes: Merlin, The Beginning of the End|publisher=BBC One|accessdate=2009-01-20}}</ref>
In 2009, he will appear alongside [[Anthony Hopkins]] in ''[[The Wolfman (2009 film)|The Wolfman]]''.<ref name="timesonline">{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article4618434.ece|title=Meet the child stars of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas|date=August 30, 2008|publisher=The Times |first=Kevin|last=Maher |accessdate=2008-11-01 | location=London}}</ref>
