Beginner Acting Resume

A beginner actor has a difficult path to tread. In the acting field, one gains recognition not only through continuous working but only after working some good roles. Though some actors get a “break” early in their careers, for many the journey is gradual, filled with many potholes. This sample resume is of a beginner actor, who has done some minor roles in some films and theatre. He is in search of that “break”, for which this resume can prove to be quite effective. After all, before seeing an actor’s face, many of the employers see his resume first, and this is especially true in case of beginners. Hope this sample works magic for our viewers too.
