Born in Ontario, Canada, Greene is of Oneida descent. His career spanned television, film, and video games over several decades, with appearances in numerous classics such as Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Green Mile, and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. While many may know him best from his film roles, his portrayal in Red Dead Redemption 2 moved countless players—the gentle yet resolute Indigenous chief whose calm, steady strength is etched into the game’s narrative.
Although Chief Rains Fall does not appear frequently in Red Dead Redemption 2, every appearance carries weight. As the leader of the Wapiti tribe, he seeks to guide his people through external pressure and encroachment with peace and wisdom, remaining composed no matter the circumstances.
Even when his son Eagle Flies presses for retaliation, Rains Fall hopes to protect his people through negotiation and evidence—until they are ultimately forced to leave their ancestral lands and seek refuge in Canada. Greene’s voice and performance conveyed the character’s tenderness and composure with great nuance, leaving a deep impression—making news of his passing especially heartbreaking for many devoted players.
