Graham Greene, 73, was sadly passed away in the company of Kevin Costner, who also co-starred in Dances With Wolves.
Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Costner has spoken out following the death of his co-star Graham Greene, sharing an emotional tribute to the late performer on Instagram.
The 70-year-old actress shared a clip from Dances With Wolves, the movie that brought the two actors together, as a tribute to Graham’s passing.
He penned a moving tribute that stated: “A few things come to mind when I think of Graham Greene and our time together on Dances With Wolves.
I consider how eagerly he was to learn the language of the Lakota. I recall hearing that his filmmaking was recognized with a nomination for the @theacademy Awards, which was heartening.
“And I think of this scene in particular, when he was able to establish so much about the relationship between Dunbar and the natives with so few words. He was a master at work and a wonderful human being,” reports the Express.

Costner concluded his tribute with a poignant note, saying, “I’m grateful to have been a witness to this part of his lasting legacy. Please rest in peace, Graham.
The well-known actor had a distinguished career that included roles in significant films, TV shows, and stage performances for almost 50 years.
He is most notably credited with earning Kevin Costner’s Dances with Wolves nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1990 for his role as Kicking Bird. His agent confirmed that he passed away on Sunday afternoon in a Toronto hospital.
Although no death cause was specified, it is believed that Greene had been ill for some time.
Greene had intended to speak with Costner as his final wish before he passed away, which only made things worse.
His representative, Michael Greene, revealed that the late actor’s last wish was to thank the Yellowstone star for his portrayal of native people in the media over the years, as reported by TMZ.
Regrettably, his team was unable to get in touch with Kevin despite efforts to speak with Costner’s representatives.
Greene made his acting debut in the 1983 sports drama Running Brave after working in television roles since 1976. In response, he took part in the British historical drama Revolution, which was released in 1985.
His big break came with Costner’s directorial debut, one of the 1990’s highest-grossing movies, Dances With Wolves. The Western movie won seven Oscars in the same year and received a lot of praise.
However, Joe Pesci’s performance in Goodfellas did not earn him the Best Supporting Actor award.
