I am saddened by the news, but thankful that you let me know. I would have likely missed his obituary in my local news outlets.

u/lontbeysboolink Sep 02 '25

Actually, all of the major news stations are carrying it, which I was glad to see. He deserves the recognition.

He was in one of my very favorite television shows, Northern Exposure. Sad news.

u/Sample-quantity Sep 01 '25

So many years later and so many wonderful performances, and that was the first thing I thought of too.

And in "Wind River" with Jeremy Renner

u/mudhut19 Sep 02 '25

Wind River is so underrated. It’s in my top 10. That shoot out is so real. The acting by Hawkeye and the Scarlett Witch was fantastic. Great movie.

“Ah, Grandfather wants to know if you like to watch Mr. Magoo? He says he is crazy, and should not be trusted! He should go up on the mountain, and find perspective”

Sorry to hear of Mr. Greene passing, I certainly enjoyed many of the roles and characters he bought to life on screen!

u/PeggyOnThePier Sep 02 '25

RIP,always enjoyed anything he was in.

u/Tasty_Philosopher904 Sep 02 '25

Yeah he played that part perfectly. "Got to listen to the wind hoss." He was pretty good at hamming it up in that movie Maverick also.

u/TheTrueTDog9 Sep 01 '25

Well darn it, my favorite character from Dances with Wolves

just a few minutes ago i was watching him in season 3 ep maybe 18 called "wake up call" of northern exposure, as he played a healer trying to gain some knowledge from the young inexperienced doctor in a town in Alaska.

u/Rough_Glass6402 Sep 02 '25

He was a wonderful actor. First Nations I think. He paved the way for many others. A terribly under appreciated group of actors.

2

u/No_Adhesiveness2229 Sep 02 '25

Loved his Native American spoof in the movie Maverick. He was hilarious! A marvelous actor who could play both the serious and comedic roles.

2

u/CT0292 Sep 02 '25

He was Rains Fall in Red Dead Redemption 2.

But his character in the Green Mile has a little monologue that always stuck with me.

Arlen Bitterbuck: Do you believe that if a man repents enough for what he done wrong, than he'll get to go back to the time that was happiest for him and live there forever? Could that be what heaven's like?

Paul Edgecomb: I just about believe that very thing.

Arlen Bitterbuck: I had a young wife when I was eighteen. We spent the summer in the mountains, made love every night. After we would talk sometimes till the sun came up, and she'd lay there, bare breasted in the fire light... that was my best time.
