Graham Greene, the Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73.

A pioneer for Indigineous actors in Hollywood, Greene made his debut in the 1979 Canadian drama series “The Great Detective” and in the 1983 film “Running Brave.” But his big Hollywood break came with “Dances with Wolves,” in which he co-starred as “Kicking Bird.” The role earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1991. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won seven, including for best picture and best director for Kevin Costner.


Greene was born in June 1952 in Ohsweken, on Canada’s Six Nations Reserve. He began his acting career in the theater and was appearing in professional stage productions by the 1970s.

I always enjoyed his work.....RIP Sir.

It seems that a number of successful indigenous actors were from canada
 
He has been great at every project he's done. I really enjoyed his appearances as the character Edgar Montrose on the Red Green Show.
