“With deep sadness we announce the peaceful passage of the award -winning Canadian actor and legendary Graham Greene”said Gerry Jordan in a statement for CBC News. The post reported that the actor died of natural causes, writes BBC.
Greene was nominated for the Oscar award for best supporting actor for her role in Kevin Costner's 1990 Western, “Dans with Wolves”, where she played Kicking Bird.
He was a member of the Oneida nation, part of the Six Nations reserve in southern Ontario.
Before starting his career in the theater in the UK in the 1970s, Greene worked as a technical designer, a civilian technician, a steel worker and a member of the team of a rock band.
In a 2012 interview for the Canadian Playback, he said the theater offered a solid basis for acting:
“It helps you build a character. When you enter the film you do not have this privilege. The discipline of the theater is what I recommend to all the actors.”
In the same interview, Greene said that an important moment for him was marriage to his wife, Hilary Blackmore, who led to “the best time in my life.”
His successful success came in 1990, when he played the role of Kicking Bird, a Lakota healer, in “Dansce with Wolves”. Greene received wide -scale praise for this role.
