moment by flicking a lit cigarette into Stephen Baldwin's face. This later
prompted Suspects writer Christopher McQuarrie to call Greene a "million-dollar day
player.".
He had a well publicized battle with heroin that was well covered in a
several page spread entitled "Career High" for Premiere Magazine in
1998. He has since fully recovered from his near fatal
addiction.
Began acting at age 25 in NYC.
Irish-American.
Dropped out of Montclair High School in New Jersey.
Has two younger siblings: a brother, John, and a sister, Mary
