His last Facebook update was on Aug. 22 in which he wrote: “At my age, when I put my pants on backwards, they fit better.” Just this year, he was inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, the latest in a string of accolades he racked up over his 50-year career.

He also had memorable roles in films like Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Green Mile, and Thunderheart. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council said Greene’s work left a lasting impact on the industry. “His influence will

I send my condolences to his family and friends, and all who were impacted by his life and work.” Greene is survived by one daughter and wife Hilary. He is also the second cousin of another famous Six Nations actor, Gary Farmer.
