Graham Greene, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Kicking Bird in 1990's Dances with Wolves, has died. He was 73.
Greene reportedly died in a hospital in Toronto on Sept. 1 after dealing with an extended illness. His agent, Michael Greene, confirmed his death in a statement to Deadline, saying, "He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed."
His agent went on, "You are finally free. Susan Smith is meeting you at the gates of heaven," in reference to Greene's previous agent who died in 2013.
Greene Was a Canadian First Nations Actor Who Was a Pioneer in the Industry
Greene was from the Oneida tribe, born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada, on June 22, 1952. While he didn't start his working life in acting or the arts, others encouraged Greene to pursue acting, and by the 1970s, he was performing in professional theater.
