Canadá (-). Actor canadiense nacido en Ontario. Actor who gained fame as Kicking Bird, friend and mentor to Kevin Costner, in DANZA CON LOBOS (1990), en la que fue nominado al Oscar como mejor Actor de Reparto. A full-blooded Oneida, Greene was born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. Prior to his DANZA CON LOBOS (1990) success, he appeared with Al Pacino in the Revolutionary War misfire, REVOLUCION (1985); co-starred with Robby Benson in RUNNING BRAVE (1983); and played a Vietnam vet in the comedy adventure, POWWOW HIGHWAY (1989). After DANCES Greene began making frequent appearances on TV, generally playing quietly dignified characters on shows like L.A. Law, Northern Exposure and Murder, She Wrote. He also proved effective in less traditional fare such as Where the Spirit Lives (1990) for PBS' American Playhouse and the HBO film THE LAST OF HIS TRIBE (1992), in which he played the last survivor of the Yahi nation. He turned in a superb, laconic performance as a reservation cop who teaches rookie FBI man Val Kilmer a thing or two in Michael Apted's sober environmental thriller, CORAZON DE TRUENO (1992). Greene remains active in the Toronto theater community, where he has appeared in over a dozen productions.
