I first  saw Marco d'Almeida in a Portuguesse soap opera called  a Joia de Africa. He didn't cry much in it but showed some potential at some point having a very sudden, natural breakdown later on when he showed this beautiful flushed face, teary eyes and cracked voice. Then i saw a clip of him in another soap called My Love ..(or something like this) in which he has a longer sobbing scene that I put in the video section but shortly after  the poster erased his account from youtube and that gem was  really gone.
This year in April I managed to acces some more episodes from this soap in which he plays a man who suffered a severe trauma because of an accident in which his father died and his girlfriend got injured. He has a massive guilt trip that streches over a few episodes in which he's shown recollecting some events as he attempts to commit suicide. He feels guilty for acting like a coward by not saving them.  The crying is really intense  and realistic, his voice is cracking every time he tries to talk through his sobs. He's also shown being comforted by other characters and then in therapy where his face is shown in a close up as his emotions overcome him. (I later read that these parts got him an important prize in television at that time.)
I really hope you can see the clips. I found them with great difficulty after having tried to access them from an official site. I'll post the key ones with some background from the story. Some show gradual, built up crying or simply tearing up, others are more gut-wrenching.

She's the one who rescues him. Because of pain he has a major breakdown but he also covers his face while sobbing. His eyes are shown glistening with tears.)
