I know we've had a thread about this but I ran a search and couldn't find it, so here's round 2.
Which actors/public figures would you like to see cry? Or, if they have cried, who's on your list of  'damn, I want to see more of this person crying'?

Jason Isaacs. I just feel like he'd be a good crier. I'm told he cries in Awake, and I saw all of that show, but I noticed way fewer crying scenes back then. (I think I was pickier then.)

Damian Lewis. He did so beautifully in Peacekeepers (once in front of Ioan Gruffudd,whose own crying scene was very rudely interrupted by the camera cutting away way too soon).

James Roday Rodriguez. God, I spent all eight seasons of Psych wanting to see Shawn Spencer cry. In the series finale, he cried very subtly, and in context of that smartass character and overall tone of the show, it was mostly satisfying. Not a lot of room on a comedy show for serious, quality crying. But then he downright sobbed in A Million Little Things, and oh god, that's lovely and I want more.

Peter Capaldi. I really wanted to see the Twelfth Doctor cry, and I feel like Capaldi could have given us something appropriately wrenching. Alas, despite looking very carefully, he never seemed to do more than eyes full of tears that didn't fall, even when River Song said he was crying. So I want to see him do more. Even if it's just a quiet tear like the Ninth Doctor (and in context, that one tear was heartbreaking.)

Rahul Kohli. He's done a few 'single tear dripping off his face' bits, and then he sobbed and screamed in That One Scene in Midnight Mass, and I want to see him cry in a scene that is neither so upsetting, nor so noisy as to obscure his sounds. (If you've seen the show, you know what scene I mean.)

Keanu Reeves. He's in a unique situation of having turned in three terrible scenes and two good ones (The Lake House and John Wick, for the record). I want more good ones.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I remember he cried in Brick.

Christian Kane. He got so close to crying in one episode of Leverage.

Willem Dafoe. He cried a bit in The Hunter, and a bit in Antichrist, but my brain has consistently filed him under 'have seen this man seriously cry'. 

Eric Bana. Another man in the 'feel like I've seen him cry' category even before I saw his 'call home' scene in Munich. I hope he's done other scenes.

Vincent D'Onofrio. He's a damn great actor. I liked his character in Law & Order: Criminal Intent so much, it hurt too much to see him cry in the episode Endgame, and I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since. I have seen him cry in That Championship Season (which looks like a remarkably tiresome film) when he was younger, and he did damn good and it didn't hurt too much. I wonder if he cries in The Cell.
