Graham Greene, the Oscar-nominated actor known for his powerful performances and deep cultural impact, has died at the age of 73, according to multiple reports. TMZ reported that Greene passed away on Sunday afternoon at a hospital in Toronto, Canada.

His agent, Michael Greene, confirmed the news in a statement to Deadline, saying, “He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed.” The announcement has prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow actors alike, remembering him not just for his roles, but for his authenticity and grace.

Greene was born on June 22, 1952, in Ohsweken, on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. A proud member of the First Nations, his heritage and advocacy for Indigenous representation remained central to both his personal life and professional work.

He began his acting career in 1979 with a role in the Canadian drama series The Great Detective, and steadily built a name for himself in film and television through the 1980s and 1990s. His breakout role came in 1990 with Dances with Wolves, where he starred alongside Kevin Costner as the wise and dignified Kicking Bird — a performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Over the years, Greene became a familiar face in Hollywood, appearing in films such as Maverick, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Green Mile, and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. His presence on screen was marked by quiet strength, depth, and a commitment to telling meaningful stories. He is survived by his wife, Hilary Blackmore, his daughter, and his grandson.
