Canadian-born character actor Graham Greene, 73, died in Toronto on Sept. 1. A member of the Oneida tribe, Greene served in Vietnam and became a police officer, then began acting onstage. Greene worked in films and TV from the late 1970s, but his breakthrough part was in 1990’s Dances with Wolves. He went on to be one of Hollywood’s (and Canada's) busiest actors, appearing in such vehicles as Northern Exposure, Murder She Wrote, North, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Green Mile, Cover Me, Skins, Wolf Lake, Transamerica, The Red Green Show, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Family Tree, Defiance, Longmire, and Reservation Dogs—he had five releases in 2025, with four more set for release. When asked if he suffered from typecasting, Greene said, “I've played all kinds of things. I played an old Jewish man in a furniture store in theater, I played the ghost of a black transvestite . . . I've played British soldiers, I've played French soldiers, I've played New York cops, I've played lawyers, so . . . no.”
