Graham Greene, the acclaimed Canadian actor and trailblazer for Indigenous representation in film and television, has died at 73.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His manager confirmed he passed peacefully on September 1 in Stratford, Ontario, after a long illness. His wife, Hilary Blackmore, was by his side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greene earned international recognition with his Oscar-nominated role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves (1990), becoming the first Canadian since Chief Dan George to receive an Academy Award nomination.<\/p>\n

He later recalled calling Hilary with the news before their phone began ringing nonstop. Before acting, Greene worked as a carpenter, steelworker, and roadie before finding his footing in UK theatre in the 1970s. \u201cThe discipline of theatre is what I recommend to all actors,\u201d he said in 2012.<\/p>\n

His career spanned celebrated films like The Green Mile and Wind River, and TV hits including Tulsa King and The Last of Us. A proud member of the Oneida Nation of the Six Nations Reserve, Greene\u2019s work opened doors for Indigenous actors in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
