Richard Greene was one of the best actors who ever played Robin Hood in my humble opinion.Of course, no one was better than the legend Errol Flynn but in the TV series he showed his acting prowess, his dashing good looks, his wit and his athleticism. I watched the series in 1957 till its conclusion in the early 60's and thoroughly enjoyed it.I was saddened to hear of his passing at a relatively young age.I also found out that he was the referee at the boxing match between Mancini and Kim in 1983 which showed me another facet of his versatility.

[edit] Disambiguation

Another "Richard Greene," aside from this individual and a referee, is also in question. He is apparently a voice actor, recently providing his talent for X-Men Legends II, among other titles. Said individual is currently being linked to this page, unfortunately. --AWF

[edit] Layout

I think that someone needs to work on the layout and organization of this article. It is very long and hard to navigate. There are too many paragraph breaks and it does not look like an encyclopedia article. --BenWhitey 03:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grandson of inventor Richard Greene

In a number of other articles it is mentioned that Richard Greene is a descendant (grandson) of one of the developers of the earliest movie projector. Although another person claims credit for the invention as well, a movie was made about the life of the man who would have been related to the actor Richard Marius Joseph Greene. (Mary K.

[edit] Descendent of William Friese-Greene, inventor

According to the authors of the website for Robin Hood on www. tv.uk the actor Richard Greene was not a grandson of William Friese-Greene. I've seen this apparent misinformation on several websites with bios of the popular actor, and I wrote about this in a discussion entry still posted here. I stand corrected. They are not related.

[edit] Grandfathers of Richard Greene

Richard Greene's maternal grandfather was William Wallace Davidson. His paternal grandfather was Richard Bentley Greene. This information comes from an article by his daughter, Patricia Oakes Leigh-Wood which is included in the book Debrett Goes to Hollywood by Charles Kidd, 1986, George Weidenfeld & Nicholson Limited, page 131. The connection to William Friese-Greene was probably put out in a publicity release by 20th Century Fox and has been often quoted, although erroneous. Mary K.

[edit] Cause of death, fall from horse?

According to his daughter, Richard Greene died of cardiac arrest (not related to a riding accident). See biography at www.robinhood-tv.co./ukRichardGreene.htm for detailed history.
