In Noah Wyle's new show, "The Red Line", he plays a man whose husband is accidentally shot and killed by a cop, and he is pretty much teary throughout the first two episodes and doing great work. This is what he said about it in an interview:
“Emotionally, I never turned it off,” Wyle says. “It was just one of those things that moved me. It was one of those things where I cried at the table read. I cried at the rehearsal. I cried in every shot. The well never ran dry on this one because it felt really important to me in a way that I have never really experienced before. I decided if I was going to keep doing this for a living, I had to be willing to put myself out there.”
Then there are these two scenes.
The first is of him texting his dead husband and breaking down:

The second is a heart-wrenching speech he makes at a gala, talking about his dead husband. There are definitely tears and I'm assuming from his quote above that they were real:

ADDITION: He wasn't exaggerating in the above quote. He really does seem to have cried all the way through this. Here's three scenes from the 3rd episode (in one video), first a deposition with the cop who killed his husband, then confronting the cop, then sobbing in his friend's arms:
