What people think I study: A werewolf, an old book, a fairy. What I actually study: Mending nets, a Wardruna concert, an animal rights protest.

Graham Greene, Canadian Actor Who Portrayed Indigenous Characters, Dies at 73 The First Nations actor, who appeared in "Dances With Wolves" and other Hollywood blockbusters, remained active in Canadian film, theater and television.

I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”
