I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I’ve never heard of this Graham Greene. The very fine British author and critic is the one I’m quite familiar with. He died in the early 1990s.
No matter. I’m sorry to hear of the actor’s passing. RIP Mr. Greene.
He was a great actor. He also played the reservation cop alongside Jeremy Renner in “Wind River”.
The picture looks like the fellow on TV who trys to con viewers into taking out a Reverse Mortgage.
I especially liked him as the crazy demolition expert Edgar on the Red Green show. Graham Greene and Chief Dan George were 2 of the best indian character actors ever. I didn’t know that he was only a year older than I am at 73. Only in Canada would you get an indian actor with the very British name of Graham. RIP Graham Greene, you made me laugh.
RIP
Enjoyed his work.

He was one of those actors that was relatable in every role he played. RIP.
I just rewatched Wind River. great film. heartbreaking at times. excellent script and acting. Mr. Green was wonderful, as usual. Bellar recommends.
As the snarky cop in Thunderheart, he was perfect. God Speed dude.
You’re spot-on MMinWA, regarding Mr Greene’s acting in Thunderheart. He was always a joy to watch. I’ll miss him. RIP Graham Greene…
Wind River. One of my all time favs. Shortly after that he played a bad guy on the series Longmire. It was pretty damn easy to hate his character. The guy had a wide range. RIP
