Canadian actor Graham Greene dies at 73

Canadian actor Graham Greene has died at the age of 73. His manager, Gerry Jordan, confirmed this to CBC. Greene died peacefully of natural causes.

Greene became famous for his role as the Lakota medicine man Kicking Bird in the film Dances With Wolves (1990). He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.

Greene was from the Oneida Nation in the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario. Before his acting career, he worked as a draftsman, civil engineer, and roadie. He gained his first stage experience in the 1970s in the UK.

Throughout his career, Greene appeared in numerous international productions, including Thunderheart, The Green Mile, Die Hard With a Vengeance, Maverick, and Wind River.

In 2004, he was honored with the Earle Grey Award for his lifetime achievement, followed in 2016 by his induction into the Order of Canada—the country's second-highest civilian honor.

Greene once described his marriage to Hilary Blackmore as a turning point in his life.
