Graham Greene Dies At The Age Of 73 After A Prolonged Illness, Michael Says 'You Are Finally Free..'

Graham Greene was a well-known figure in the entertainment world. He won over people with his immense talent and impeccable acting skills. However, his run in the industry was cut short by an illness that ultimately led to his untimely demise at the age of 73.

Graham Greene passed away

Graham Greene was a trailblazing Canadian First Nations actor who paved the way for Indigenous actors in Hollywood. He was one of the much-loved celebrities, making his sudden demise even more heartbreaking. The actor passed away on September 1, 2025, in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. The Oscar nominee from Dances with Wolves was 73 when he left for the heavenly abode.

It was Graham Greene's agent, Michael Greene, who shared the news of his demise in a statement with Deadline. The short note recalled the actor as a man of morals and character. The agent further shared that Graham was finally free and with Susan Smith in heaven. For the uninitiated, Susan was Graham's longtime former agent, who passed away in 2013. Michael can be quoted as saying:

"He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed. You are finally free. Susan Smith is meeting you at the gates of heaven."

Graham Greene's illustrious career 

Graham Greene was born on June 22, 1952, in Ohsweken, on the Six Nations Reserve. The actor held several odd jobs before pursuing a career in acting. Greene began his professional journey on stage, and by the 1970s, he was performing in Canadian and English professional theatre productions. However, it took him almost a decade to make his on-screen debut in an episode of the Canadian drama series The Great Detective, which aired in 1979. He later worked on his first film, the 1983 drama, Running Brave.

Graham Greene made his big breakthrough with Kevin Costner's Kicking Birds. He was also one of the main characters in the 1990 western drama, Dances with Wolves. The film landed 12 Academy Award nominations, including one for Graham as Best Supporting Actor, and won seven, including Best Picture. The project launched his Hollywood career. The actor's TV series credits also include series regular roles on Wolf Lake, Defiance and Marvel's Echo.

Graham also rose to prominence for his recurring stints on Northern Exposure, Lonesome Dove: The Series, Being Erica, Longmire, Goliath and American Gods. He was once nominated for an Oscar and is a Grammy, Gemini, and Canadian Screen Award winner, as well as an Independent Spirit nominee. He has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame and, earlier this year, received the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in his native country. He is survived by his wife of over three decades, Hilary Blackmore; their daughter, Lilly Lazare-Greene; and his grandson, Tarlo.
