A great character actor, Graham Greene, has passed after a long illness. He was the Native American Indian actor who played Kicking Bird in the movie "Dances with Wolves". He has also been in many other films and some television productions. He died Monday in a Toronto hospital at age 73. He was known as a true legend, and a man of ethics, morals and character by those who knew him. He was a full-blooded Oneida Sioux and was born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. He is recognized for his "significant contribution to indigenous representation in film and television." The picture is from fanpop.com

I was too. He was great in everything he did. Kevin isn't any spring chicken either.

Very sad that he passed away. He was born on The Six Nations Reserve here in Ontario, and was a very talented actor, may he RIP.
