This piece is offensive to real actors. I've been a professional actor for over 40 years...have a pension from SAG and one from AFTRA and one from Equity. NEVER has anyone suggested a "cry stick". Never heard of it till now. And I've cried hundreds of time, on film/tv and stage. And my thought...if someone gave you a cry stick, it's because you couldn't do the job properly. BTW...IMDB has no credits for an Alexander Combstrong, so maybe you're an amatuer?
