Graham Greene

On this actor's page, it is a combination of the actor and the writer, two different people. The actor was born in 1952 (source: IMDb], hence cannot be the writer who predates that DOB. The actor's name should probably stay the same, while the writer, who is less known and has fewer entries, should be listed as Graham Greene [writer].

I don't know him, personally but, I always thought the actor was pretty cool! Last thing I saw him in was an episode of The Outer Limits. He played a guy with an electronic eye and, at one point, was forced to plug some alien machine into his eye to gain control of the machine, I think.

I will suggest that both gentlemen are tagged writer/ actor as appropriate.

Noble Prize for Literature winner and considered one of the top English novelists of the 20th century. Many of his works are perhaps not as recognizable from a pop culture perspective, save perhaps for "The Third Man", the famous noir film starring Orson Welles which Greene wrote. His other well-known works include The End of the Affair, Confidential Agent, The Power and the Glory and The Comedians, all of which I believe were adapted as popular films.

Addressing the original question, Wikipedia, FWIW lists the actor with the disambiguation as the author is more widely known and for a longer period of time (the actor first rose to popularity in the 1990s; the author's career lasted for about 70 years.
