I watched him host Exhibit A for years. He was a great narrator. RIP Graham. Possibly the most prolific Native American actor of this generation?... If not the most prolific, he likely had the most roles.

I outright loved that movie because it was mass chaos and while Foster and Gibson and Garner were so good, Greene was hilarious and brilliant.


I can't recall a movie that he was bad in, even some of the terrible b movies that he had a roll in, he was great and charming and natural.

Clearcut (1991) was a film that was shown in a canadian film course I took way back in university. Graham Greene is menacing in it! Excellent movie, based on a novel called 'a dream like mine'. And free on youtube!

Huge loss. RR was one of the greats. So many fantastic roles, not to mention his directing. RIP

The good and bad thing about being old as dirt is knowing how utterly brilliant Redwood was and trying to explain it to my kids now, same with Newman, Nicholson, Sly Stone etc I spend my days telling my kids 'here you gotta watch/listen to this it was groundbreaking, brilliant'

My Mom had such a mad crush on him


He was a towering influence in Hollywood and on the Mt Rushmore of actors for sure.

Not dead yet but Robert Munsch has opted for MAID. I remember him being an extremely entertaining speaker at a creative writing workshop I used to go to in high school, and my kids loved his books.

Daughter says he was approved five years ago and isn’t currently dying nor has he decided when he’s going to. So maybe not the right time to enter this thread in either end lol.

Love you Forever is the craziest book. You know near the end when the son is holding his dying mom in his lap? That was literally me at the Foothills with my sick mom two years ago. We were in the waiting room with her in my lap for six or so hours. She checked in and never checked out. That book hits the circle of life so perfectly.

There was a conversation at work about Redford, a guy older than me described him to the young'uns as Brad Pitt, but better looking & more talented and an environmental champion (among many other good causes)

That's stupid. Brad Pitt is an insanely talented actor.

I read somebody describe him as a character actor trapped in a leading man's body. I think that nails it. Think of him in 12 Monkeys, Benjamin Button, Fight Club, Snatch, etc. Fricken Legends of the Fall was awesome, too. He plays such different characters in all of those.

Then also obviously he can pump out basic bitch movies that probably don't take a lot of acting chops like F1, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, etc.

Money Ball was great, too, but on that one I don't think you need to be a great actor for that role, but the cool thing about Pitt is he can pull that stuff off and be believable as well.

Just compare him to, like, George Clooney. That dude - no matter what the movie is - you're just watching George Clooney pretend to be different people. Pitt is top tier. Robert Redford isn't as good at all.
