We have lost another great within the gaming and entertainment community, Graham Greene. The man who brought quiet power to every role he touched. Across a career that spanned more than 45 years, he lit up screens with a presence that was both grounded and magnetic. Greene has sadly passed away at the age of 73, leaving behind a legacy that stretches across film, television, and—most memorably for many gamers—Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2.
Many would remember Greene in his role as Detective Joe Lambert in Die Hard with a Vengeance. Watching him as a cop driven by conviction, doing everything he could to protect children he believed were in danger, was borderline inspiring. It was one of countless roles that defined his career before his passing on September 1.
Despite a résumé filled with iconic performances, Greene only voiced one major video game character: Rains Fall. And yet, that single role left a lasting impression. His portrayal of the Native American chief in Red Dead Redemption 2 was deeply human—marked by restraint, sorrow, and a quiet plea for peace. Greene’s performance elevated the character beyond narrative function; he made Rains Fall an unforgettable character that all gamers refer back to.
Technically, Greene’s work in gaming wasn’t limited to RDR2. He appeared briefly in HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation as Marlon and voiced a character in Turok: Son of Stone back in 2008. But it’s his role in Red Dead that gamers will return to. It’s the one that lingers.
His passing will make future playthroughs of RDR2 feel heavier. That voice—so full of wisdom and weariness—now echoes with finality. Greene didn’t just play Rains Fall. He gave him soul. And in doing so, he gave players something rare: truth in a digital world
