Over the weekend, Butler was spotted out in Los Angeles, sparking even more rumors about his next role and fueling viral posts dissecting his style and speculating if these visual changes relate to his new role as Crockett. Business-wise, Butler’s expanding filmography continues to position him as a leading man in Hollywood, with "Miami Vice" likely to serve as a defining project for his next era.
