Greene was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Gladys (Pugh) and Harry Greene.[1] Early in his career, Greene was frequently featured in westerns, and was credited with over 100 television and film appearances, including the 1962 film This is Not a Test (as Mike Green),[2] as well as a leading role in the 1973 film The Clones. He played Jimmy Hart, William Petersen's ill fated partner in To Live and Die in L.A..
