I can sit through a movie/show with something sad happening and not feel the impulse to cry if the characters are. But if the characters are not crying I feel a need to empathize with them. Not something I ever though of before. Interesting.

[@CrazeeAdam]

reminds me of The Last of Us (episode 3) from this past week.. so many people cried from that episode for obvious reasons and one reason was the great performances and seeing a man who you know does not cry easily..just break down :(

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

You can really just feel his passion and love for acting when he talks about it. The point he made about characters who cry easily vs characters who try to hold it back and it gets through was something I'd never specifically noticed. But, as soon as he said it, I thought back to the most recent times I cried during a film or tv show and they all shared this in the performance. Also just seems like a really pleasant guy.

[@GOLVEL]

"I can..."

[@4score]

Like when all the football players are crying in Brian's Song.....you really feel it because they never cry!

[@randomdaveUK]

Another actor (sorry I can't remember who) also said this. That people naturally don't want to cry, they try their hardest not to, that's what distinguishes good acting in those moments.

I couldn't believe it but, he told me growing up as a kid in New York the Giants were his team. It was after this 'incident' that I learned a lot about him. Still the only "Dodger' I like.

I'll never understand this kind of thinking. You don't know him. He's a great performer and seems like a decent person sure, but you only know who he presents himself to be. You know his public persona. Personally, I separate my admiration for someone's talents from my feelings about them on a personal level. In other words, while he's my favorite actor I have no personal feelings towards him, positive or negative. I can admire his achievements and capacities without forming some sort of bond. Do you really think you know him well enough to "confirm that he's one of most genuine and sweetest guys"?
