Biography

Born in Montclair, New Jersey in 1965, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery in his mid-twenties in New York City, where he was fortunate enough to be trained at the esteemed Lee Strasberg's studio. This marked the beginning of his foray into the world of acting, and soon his unique persona, characterized by his deep voice, tall stature, and pale complexion, began to make appearances on television and film sets in 1990.

It wasn't long before he landed his first leading roles in the critically acclaimed films "Laws of Gravity" (1992) and "Clean, Shaven" (1993),the latter of which caught the attention of the renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. The following year, he made a memorable impression as the rapist and torturer Zed in Tarantino's cult classic "Pulp Fiction" (1994).

Greene's talent did not go unnoticed, and he was soon cast as the leading villain opposite Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in the blockbuster film "The Mask" (1994),as well as the complex and intriguing character Redfoot in the highly acclaimed crime drama "The Usual Suspects" (1995). Additionally, he had a supporting role as a bad guy in the action-packed film "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" (1995).

Throughout his illustrious career, Greene has continued to deliver memorable performances in a wide range of films, including "Blue Streak" (1999),"Ticker" (2000),"Training Day" (2002),"Brothers in Arms" (2005),"End Game" (2006),"Fist of the Warrior" (2007),"The Bounty Hunter" (2010),"Once Fallen" (2010),and the television series "The Black Donellys" (2007).

Greene has also made guest appearances on popular television shows such as "Hawaii Five-O" (2010) and "Justified" (2010),and has appeared in music videos for notable artists including Prodigy of Mobb Deep and House of Pain. One of his most recent and notable roles was as the emotionally charged character Jordan Blaine in the season two premiere of Tim Firtion's award-winning crime drama/thriller web series, "The Jersey Connection" (2018). The project has garnered widespread critical acclaim, with Greene receiving two awards and five nominations for his outstanding acting performance.
