Graham Greene, a trailblazing Canadian First Nations actor who opened doors for Indigenous actors in Hollywood, died September 1 in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. The Oscar nominee from Dances with Wolves was 73.

“He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed,” Greene’s agent Michael Greene (no relation) said in a statement to Deadline. “You are finally free. Susan Smith is meeting you at the gates of heaven,” he added, referencing the actor’s longtime agent, who died in 2013.

    Dances with wolves seems like a wierd one to tag him with. Wonder if it was the highest grossing he was in. I remember him from red green.

    His scene catering to racists looking to hunt natives in Maverick was Mel Brooks level funny. His timing and delivery was 10/10.

    I first saw him on Maverick in 1994. Last time was the Marvel TV show Echo. He was always great to see and 73 is still too young, RIP.

    Damn. I just watched Clearcut the other day. Lesser-known title of his but extremely enjoyable psychological horror, set and filmed in Canada. It was a great recommendation. He was also great in lots of other movies as well as The Red Green Show. RIP.

  • He appeared in Murder, She Wrote twice (that I can remember); once as a sheriff and a tribal lawyer in another episode. Quite memorable (for me) as he portrayed the characters very well.

    You will be missed. RIP, Mr. Greene.
