How do they make actors cry in movies?

• Answer:

  Any good actor is able to cry on demand. It's a talent that has to be cultivated and practiced, but quite possible for anyone to learn. Good actors/actresses get into the mind of their character and put on that persona, so to speak. Most of the time, through the sadness that the character suffers, the actor feels the pain of the situation. Many have their own tricks. Some believe the 'ole onion trick, others believe in the silicone sprack that begins the tears, others think sad thoughts. It varies between actors.
