"Will's not a coat that hang in the closet and pick up when you're ready to wear it, his life goes on." True words right there. This is to every parent that has a child or more and doesn't see them. Children aren't there for you, you're supposed to be there for them. You don't just come around when you feel like you're ready to.

Good parents who care for their children usually end up having children who in turn care about them. My parents may not be perfect, but I know they did the absolute best they could raising me, and I care deeply for them. Sadly, not every child has a parent who truly loves them, and it’s heartbreaking.

It really sucks that kids have to go through that constant struggle to need dad in there life.

He'd also take the other kids he had with the bitch he cheated on my wife years before meeting me to kings island etc. and my step-kids would see the pictures on Facebook and cry because they knew there dad don't care for them. He also passed a month ago, but the kids wasn't to sad about given he didn't want to see them barely.

As great as Will’s performance is in this scene, for some reason it’s always when James Avery (uncle Phil) confronts Lou that makes my hair stand on edge. Avery speaks to Lou as if he’s looking right through him, and talking to every absent father that didn’t have the courage to stick by his family like a real man. In that moment, he wasn’t acting. He was preaching. RIP Mr. Avery.

Facts.

I've read that during the first taping of the scene, Will was stumbling over words, so the director called 'cut' so the last line wouldn't get spoiled. James Avery then pulled Will to give him a pep talk about how to act in this scene, advising to look into his eyes as he's talking to Phil. Then, when Phil and Will are hugging, Avery whispered into Will's ear "That's fucking acting, right there." God bless James Avery for being a great mentor.

Will and the producers of the show immediately knew Avery was the man for the part and he didn't disappoint. Most of the younger actors on the show have said in interviews that Avery was like a second father to them and really helped them to better in life and as actors

This is the best scene in tv history. Even though it hurts

I'm in tears watching this. No real man, no decent man, abandons or ignores their children, their flesh and blood. Only worthless scumbags walk out on their kids. My dad did this, and it just makes me even more determined to be there for my daughter, to be the kind of dad I didn't have; kind, loving, present.

The moment Will stated his accomplishments, everyone who's father wasn't there, had a flashback.

I suspect Lou's obvious shame was in large part the actor's very real emotions coming through. Ben Vereen was a father in real life and cried once he got off the set because he couldn't imagine walking out on his own kids. It's another example of just how powerful the scene really is.
