According to TMZ, a U.S. entertainment media outlet, he died on the 1st (local time) at a hospital in Toronto, Canada, with his wife Hillary Blackmore standing by him.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but it is known that he ended his life after a long illness.
"Graham Green was a man of great morality and character, and will remain a longing for many," the agent said. "Now he is free."
Greene made her screen debut in 1979 with the Canadian drama `The Great Detective' and took her first step on screen in 1983 with the film `Running Brave.' Afterwards, he received great attention for his role as a "Kicking Bird" in the 1990 film "Dancing with Wolves" directed and starring Kevin Costner, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1991.
'Dancing with Wolves' received 12 nominations in total, winning seven, while Kevin Costner won best actor and best director, as well as best picture.
Since then, Green has appeared in a variety of Hollywood productions, including 'Maverick (1994)', 'Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), 'The Green Mile (1999), 'Twilight: The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)' and 'Molly's Game (2017)'.
He also performed impressively in a variety of TV dramas, including "Murder, She Wrote', "Wolf Lake', "Defiance", "Reservation Dogs", "Echo", "Riverdale", "Tulsa King"'.
Green won a Grammy in 2000 for the children's reading album 'Listen to the Storyteller', and has since been nominated for a Gemini Award, a Canadian Screen Award and an Independent Spirit Award. In 2021, he was named on Canada's Walk of Fame.
Born in Canada in June 1952, Greene originally worked as a carpenter, welder, illustrator, carpet builder, roadie and audio technician, and said acting started by accident. In his lifetime, he said "They sit me in the shade, give me food and water, take me to the place where I will speak my lines, and then take me back. It's a life like a dog. It's amazing." He left a humorous recollection.
He died leaving behind his wife of 35 years, Hilary Blackmore, daughter Lily Lazare-Green, and grandson Talo.
