Paul Edward Sean "Butch" Cassidy (born April 21, 1964) is an American writer, screenwriter, and radio personality. His baptism in the Biz was held in the hallowed halls of 30 Rock when he was chosen as an intern for WNBC's Joey Reynolds Show. Reynolds had recently replaced Howard Stern and continued Stern's generous tradition of allowing interns into the studio and providing college students with an opportunity to contribute to the show. It was here that Cassidy wrote his first comedy sketches, conducted man-on-the-street interviews, movie reviews, and penned and performed Joey's song "Reynold's Rap". He also had the chance to produce the show when his executive producer, Chris Doyle, was on vacation. Cassidy was also lucky enough to do live spring break reports from Fort Lauderdale on the "Alan Colmes Show".

When WNBC switched formats to all sports WFAN, Paul joined New York's number one hit music station, Scott Shannon's legendary Z100. He appeared daily on the Z-Morning Zoo as both Butch Cassidy and Bubba the Love Sponge in addition to serving as Elvis Duran's roving reporter on his afternoon drive show. Z100's superstar night jock Kid Kelly recruited Cassidy to write and perform on his show and sent Cassidy out to live backstage celebrity interviews.

Cassidy spent a year working for promotion guru Ken Lane at Jive records while Lane was developing a marketing strategy for an unknown boy band from Orlando, Florida which Jive had just signed. The Backstreet Boys would go on to sell 130 million records and fill stadiums worldwide.

Cassidy left the business for a year to study in Europe, before returning to the states to work in radio. Top 40 was back with a vengeance and Z100's new management lobbied hard to lure Kid Kelly back to New York to do nights. Kelly's syndicated show "Backtrax USA" had taken off and was playing in hundreds of markets. Kelly's Dats Rite Productions Company signed Cassidy to be Kid's Executive Producer, writer, and on-air sidekick for his nighttime show on Z100. The following year the program won "Best Evening Show in New York City" honors at the A.I.R. Achievement in Radio Awards.

Cassidy has ghostwritten several songs for various artists including a rap song for a major international sports star. He also wrote, produced, and performed "Get Ready for the Knights Now" for the NY/NJ Knights of the World Football League. In 2002, his 9/11 tribute song "Heroes in Heaven" (Daddy's Song) was played in over 30 cities across the United States. Subsequently, in the summer of 2011, Cassidy teamed up with veteran New York producer, Artie Skye, to write a new version of "Heroes". The song, recorded in Skye's Time Square studios, was sung by 11-year-old Athena Creese of Arizona to honor the victims on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. "Heroes in Heaven" was played across the United States and Canada on Sirius/XM satellite radio and featured on Sirius's 'Morning Mash Up Show" on September 11th. Cassidy's first screenplay "Wild Teenage Daze" is currently making the rounds in Hollywood and he just began collaborating with his brother, forensic psychologist, Dr. James Cassidy, on the writing of a short book.
