Evan Peters has some brief crying moments in Dahmer in Episodes 3 and 4. The tears aren't shown rolling down his face but there is a range to them. In episode 4 there is a slow built up while Dahmer's character tries to tell his parents about his obsessions. His face is shown in a close-up and the muscles on his face are slowly flushing while he tries hard not to cry. At the end of this episode he's shown sobbing after killing a guy. Again not much focus on his face which I find a bit frustrating.  In the middle of the episode he's having another melt down with a bit of a tearing up.

A soldier played by Sam Witwer (who co-authored a book about DnD, a factoid I learned just today) is tearful upon discovering the bodies of his army comrades, in the scene directly following the spider-creature scene near the end of the movie.

What movie are you referring to?

Does Ryan Reynolds cry in The Captive? I just watched the trailer and some bits looked promising. 

I'm not familiar with this, or actually much of his work in general, but the few times I have seen him he's usually in comedic situations. So I would like to know as well. (Something about usually funny guys crying in non comedic ways is as good or almost as good as the tough guy breaks down trope)

Oh. This is totally a thing. Something about a smartass quippy guy breaking down. This is why I wanted to see James Roday Rodriguez genuinely cry on Psych as his character Shawn. He got close in the final episode, and he had a few brief moments in the series that, while played for laughs, were half decent, but never visible tears or full proper crying noises.
Well, we can’t always get what we want. Plus, while it wasn’t as Shawn, I have gotten to see JRR full-on sob in that one episode of A Million Little Things after the death of his boyfriend (?).

I read in an article that there's supposed to be a 'melodramatic crying scene' in Andor. I do hope Diego Luna cries.

If you know, was it in the context of an upcoming episode or one that already dropped?
