GRAHAM GREENE (Joseph)

Distinguished Canadian actor Graham Greene plays Joseph Menzies in Lost and Delirious.

  Greene is perhaps best recognized for his portrayal of Kicking Bira in Kevin Costner’s Dances with Wolves, for which he received a coveted Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor.  In 1993 he was honored with a Gemini Award for his work in Dudley the Dragon.  He won a Grammy Award in 2000 for his narration of the PBS production Listen to the Storyteller.

  The highlight of his stage career has been playing Pierre St.Pierre in Dry Lips Oughtta Move to Kapuskasing, for which he won the 1989 Dora Award for Best Actor when it was produced by Native Earth / Theatre Passe Muraille.  He has reprised the role at the MTC, NAC, and Royal Alexandra Theatre.  Other stage credits include Diary of a Crazy Boy, Coming Through Slaughter, and Crackwalker.

  He has been a guest star on the series Northern Exposure, Murder, She Wrote, and North of 60. He also played a lead role in the North of 60 movie of the week.

  Greene has been seen on the big screen in a number of blockbusters, including last year’s Academy Award nominated The Green Mile with Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, Sir Richard Attenborough’s Grey Owl, Die Hard 3 with Bruce Willis, Maverick alongside Mel Gibson, and director Michael Apted’s Thunderheart.

  A prominent and respected member of Canada’s Aboriginal community, he has hosted the CBC broadcast of The National Aboriginal Achievement Awards  show.
