  1. Languages

    Greene said that learning to speak Lakota properly was hard for him. He had not grown up speaking a native language, and he could not figure out how its structure worked, calling it totally foreign to English or French.

  2. Getting ready for a role

    Greene signed up for Thunderheart without reading the script, telling his agent he was in as soon as he heard the film was in South Dakota and required riding a motorcycle.

  3. First role

    Greene made his television debut in a 1979 episode of The Great Detective. He called that first role "awful" and said it led him to begin studying acting as a profession.

  4. A change of course

    Greene held several jobs before he moved into acting. He worked as a draftsman, a civil technologist, a steelworker and a crew member for a rock band.

  5. A change of course

    Greene was an audio technician for rock bands in Toronto and also worked in an Ancaster, Ontario recording studio. He said the musician Kelly Jay urged him again and again to audition for a play.
