Acting

[Feedman]

So I'm watching Jon Q on Tnn.

Denzel Washington is playing the dad. He is talking to his dying son and explaining to him about how he should act as he grows up. He starts to cry and continues as he speaks. The camera is up close and you can see them rolling down his cheaks/nose. He wipes them away and a few seconds later, more. They looked like real tears. I know in the day and age of special effects and computer animation, they may not be real. If so I am impressed for crying on cue. My question is, how do you make yourself cry on demand, baring any physical pain?

haha... I can do it a little bit, i have got tears a couple of times.. But most of the time i can just get my eyes to tear up really bad, so it looks like im about to break into tears... i just picked it up one day messing around with someone, its fun.... Maybe i can think of a way to explain how to do it sometime.. 8)

It is really hard to explain how to do, butt if you ever notice the way that your eyes feel during crying, you just need to make them feel the same way. It took me awhile to learn how to do it, butt now I can lie really good.
