Dominic West is a very convincing crier, i was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. I liked the fact that they didn' t hide anything in those scenes. The director made the crying very raw and realistic.

I like how his vision of Diana described him crying as 'raw, broken and beautiful'.
One of my favorite crying tropes is when a guy breaks down and it cuts to people who can't do anything while they have to listen to him sob. (This happens with Jude Law in The Young Pope when his mentor dies.)

I looked for it but I couldn't find it. Can you tell me in what part it is ?

I love this one too. It makes the crying even more poignant in that context. Just after I read your post I found a similar scene in The Smoke mini-series when Taron Egerton's character confesses his wrongdoing in the fire department and all the other characters stay silent at one point, witnessing the heaviness of his guilt. It makes me wonder why so many directors refrain from going all the way with this type of crying

Spoilers:
Taron Egerton and Ray Liotta have loads of teary/ crying scenes in Black Bird. Taron Egerton is shown sobbing at the end of episode 5 in a prison cell. He seems to try to stifle his sobs with his hands over his mouth and he makes very audible crying sounds. The last 10 minutes of the next episode have almost 5 actors shedding tears in a row (have they maybe read the content of this site?). Taron's character is found innocent and he cries out of relief trying to regain his composure. I like the way he loses control even if just for a few seconds only.

I remember Taron getting close to tears in Kingman movies once or twice. Good to know he actually breaks down sometimes.

Jon Bernthal cries in Punisher 1x13. He's tied to a chair talking to his captor, and when some awful information is confirmed, silent tears stream from both his eyes.

He's so handsome in that one but it only lasts a little. In the next takes he has them wiped off his face.

Oh friend, I'm SURE it's been posted here, but have you seen American Gigolo? I want to say its in the first episode- very first scene Bernthal is crying (very intensely) and its a relatively longish scene if I remember correct

Yes I think I have his scene in American Gigolo in my male crying superthread. He's quite good!
