=== Television === In 1984 and 1986, Greene appeared in the First Nations' CBC TV series ''[[Spirit Bay]]'' as Pete "Baba" Green. The show was one of the first to show aboriginal life and the interactions between the native and white cultures.<ref>"Native actors finally have dramatic vehicle" by Tony Atherton, ''[[The Gazette (Montreal)|The Montreal Gazette]]'' (26 Sept, 1993) [Final Edition] Retrieved from {{ProQuest|432485173}}</ref> In the early 1990s he found guest-star work in several television series. As Leonard Quinhagak on ''[[Northern Exposure]]'' he portrayed a [[Shamanism|shaman]] that helped care for the residents. As a practitioner of shamanism, his character came into direct conflict with the show's other doctor, a traditionally trained professional that (initially) had little use for unorthodox ways.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Northern Exposure: Leonard Quinhagak |url=https://www.moosechick.com/leonard.html |access-date=2022-12-14 |website=www.moosechick.com}}</ref> He was cast as Edgar "K.B." Montrose, an explosives enthusiast, on ''[[The Red Green Show]]''. His character was asked what he thought of the movie ''Dances with Wolves,'' replying "...the native guy (himself as 'Kicking Bird') was OK. Should have gotten the Oscar. But the rest of it was a yawn!" Greene would portray this character periodically throughout most of the series run, from 1994 through 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Graham Greene |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001295/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=IMDb |language=en-US}}</ref> In 1992, Greene played the role of [[Ishi]], the last [[Yahi]], in the [[HBO]] drama ''[[The Last of His Tribe]],''<ref name="LAT">{{cite news |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-20-vw-4294-story.html |title=Makers of HBO's 'Tribe' Given a Warm Reception|date=March 20, 1992 |first=Bill |last=Higgins}}</ref> and in 1994, he began appearing as Mr. Crabby Tree in the children's series ''[[The Adventures of Dudley the Dragon]].''<ref name=":2" /> Greene guested on the sketch comedy show ''[[Royal Canadian Air Farce]]'' in 1994.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Β» The Royal Canadian Air Farce |url=https://canadiancomedyhall.com/the-royal-canadian-air-farce/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220730130348/https://canadiancomedyhall.com/the-royal-canadian-air-farce/ |archive-date=July 30, 2022 |access-date=July 30, 2022 |website=Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame |language=en}}</ref> Between 1997 and 2001 he hosted the [[True crime (genre)|reality crime]] documentary show ''[[Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science]]''.<ref>{{Citation |title=Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science (TV Series 1997β2001) - IMDb |url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182575/fullcredits |access-date=2022-12-14}}</ref> He starred in the short-lived television series ''[[Wolf Lake]]'' in 2001 as Sherman Blackstone along with [[Lou Diamond Phillips]].
