Who is that guy?

Who is that guy? Oh, its Graham Greene!

By  | 

Hollywood’s history of not encouraging minority actors has gotten better over the decades, but we still find a shortage of Native American actors. Most of the time, we see them more often in independent films … not that that’s anything to be ashamed of. Graham Greene is probably the most recognizable of the Native American actors working today. Greene was born in 1952 on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. Greene has been working in films and television since the early 1980’s. Greene’s most widely seen role was as Kicking Bird in Kevin Costner’s Dancing With Wolves (1990). In 2007, Greene appeared in three indie films, including All Hat, Breakfast With Scot and Just Buried, in which he played Henry, a handyman for a funeral home going bankrupt. Greene has roles in three more films currently in production.
