RIP Graham "Malachi Strand from Longmire" Greene

All of the obits are mentioning "Dances With Wolves" up front, but I'll always remember him as Malachi Strand in Longmire.

One of the obits quoted him as saying it was a fun role to play, because playing a good guy all the time was boring.

What I liked most about the role was that he was actually the chief of the police on the reservation, and he crossed over to the dark side. And he didn't mess around. He went ALL THE WAY OVER. And you could TELL he'd REALLY sunk his teeth into the role 100%.

R.I.P. to a great actor.

Watched 'Thunderheart' a couple of days ago, an early Val Kilmer film. Loved him in 'Longmire.' RIP.
