Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73.

Greene made his debut in the 1979 Canadian drama series “The Great Detective” and in the 1983 film “Running Brave.” But his big Hollywood break came with “Dances with Wolves,” in which he co-starred as “Kicking Bird.” The role earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1991. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won seven, including for best picture and best actor for Kevin Costner.

Afterward, he went on to appear in several major Hollywood releases, such as “Maverick,” “Die Hard with a Vengeance,” “The Green Mile,” “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” and “Molly’s Game.”

2. He was sweet and hilarious on the Red Green Show

And absolutely terrifying in Clearcut, a movie that deserves more attention than it got.

This is sad news.

19. Loved him as Edgar KB Montrose

We've watched all 15 seasons of Red Green a couple of times (it's on Prime), and have seen the Red Green on Stage a few times.

My wife was saying literally yesterday that she wanted him in the MCU.

And he made Longmire worth watching.

18. He was excellent on Longmire

He played that evil role SO well! I've been a fan for years and to see him play such a creepy and scary character was kind of jarring. I prefer to remember him for his 'lighter' roles like Kicking Bear. An accomplished man in so many ways.

4. That scene in DWW when Kicking Bird finally understands what

Dunbar is miming: bison - “Tatanka!” is wonderful. The look of joy on his face the moment he makes a connection with another human being whose language he doesn’t understand.

“Tatanka!”

The movie is sappy and eye-rolling. But that one, very human moment of joy and recognition would not have been possible with a less-gifted actor.

Peace to you, Mr. Greene…
