One of the many ways in which Graham Greene stood out was through his endless adaptability—he could easily transition from serious moments to lighter comic tones, not just within 1 film or a show, but within one *scene*. He made it look incredibly easy. He dependably made everything he was in better

Graham Greene, it’s hard to believe he’s passed on. On TV, a phenomenally talented presence in everything from Reservation Dog to Northern Exposure & a million other TV & film projects. Just watched 4 hr version of Dances with Wolves & Kicking Bird is an all-time great cinema performance, period. 💚
