The Dick Tracy Vampires

i like the idea of a villain with just a constantly runny nose, absolutely pure evil. We've had some villains that are like that. When an actor wants to cry, he or she sometimes chooses to talk themselves into it by remembering a tragic event in their life. This is not a healthy approach and loses effectiveness over time as you numb yourself to tragedy or self abuse. Although i am decades removed from my time pursuing acting as a craft, i wanted to share my learned perspective on crying on cue. Each actor's approach is different, although i'd say they fall into two main categories.
