Me, too.
Then, I was really sad to see it was the Canadian actor. As been said, he was always memorable in everything he did. My first thought was of The Last of His Tribe where he played Ishi. Wonderful heartbreaking performance, relatively early in his career.
Yeah, I know it wasn’t the greatest movie, I really love it. Green was great in it.
I really enjoyed his ‘frustrated husband’ portrayal. (The actress who played his wife was good too.)
RIP. He was great in Reservation Dogs.
Was a guy on my husband’s first boat in the 80s that was a high steel worker before he enlisted, family business. Athabascan descent.
That character deserved his own movie.
I love that he rips of Maverick even after Maverick risks his life. He shorts him on the cash, even then.
“Hey, man, you take it all. What are friends for?”
Thunderheart is one of my favorite movies and he was excellent in it.
It’s available for rent on YouTube for $2. I might do that. And thanks for the warning.
I watched it last night and it was… interesting. I love the warrior spirit in Native Americans.
Thanks again @TreacherousCretin , I enjoyed that. And Graham Greene is (was) a big strong dude!
We re-watched Thunderheart the other day, in tribute to Graham; I don’t think I’d seen it since it was in the theaters in the early '90s.
His role in it isn’t huge, but he steals the scenes that he’s in; the scene near the end of the film in which he (Walter) and Val Kilmer (Ray) are in the car, and Walter is explaining to Ray that he’s had a vision, is classic Graham Greene:
You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it, it’s certainly not a crowd pleasing movie for everybody.
That’s awesome.
He has some good lines, some powerful ones, in Clearcut. Wish i remembered, even just one.
I’m sorry to hear about his death, and sorrier about the news he had ‘a long illness.’
He was unmatched at ‘dignified yet somewhat amused observation.’
Condolences to his family and friends.
At your service:
@TreacherousCretin that was a good read. Thank you.
Me three, but with a twist.
As embarrassing as it is, I wasn’t aware of Graham Greene, the author, when I first saw the Graham of this thread. He is very much part of the tv/ movie cast list of my younger days.
At some point, considerably older than you’d want, I stumbled upon the film Brighton Rock , based on the novel written by Graham Greene; then he became the GG in my mind.
Back to the OP, what a wonderful presence he was. Yes, his heritage is the basis of most of his roles, but his incredibly emotive eyes and quiet wisdom always come through. Rest easy, sir.
I knew about it, but also didn’t see it until comparatively recently. I’ve read a good amount of Greene, but I haven’t read that particular book. The movie though was excellent. Tremendous performance by Richard Attenborough. A kind of British film noir.
