Chris Olsen - The Boy Who Cried2016
In the movies since he was an infant, Chris Olsen appeared in films by some of the best directors of the 50's. Even though he never became a famous child actor, he was in a handful of the most iconic fifties movies. He "retired" at the age of fourteen. Looking back on his life as a child actor, he tries to find the thread that ties his movies together.

Generic boy who could cry on cue. Chris Olsen worked with some of the biggest stars and directors in several iconic films up to the age of ten. From baby to pre-teen Olsen appeared on-screen with megastars of the 50's and 60's, but he has almost no recollection of these unforgettable moments.
What's worse than having your glory days in high school or college? How about experiencing them from the ages of 8 to 10?
This is a well-crafted and extremely interesting short documentary. The best one I have seen from Mark Rappaport so far.

Extremely interesting experience. The boy's affiliation with Mega Movie Stars is fascinating.
