Answer 1

you have to lie and exagerate a while lot if your to get roles acting, everyone does it, honestly.

Does every one here hate me or something lol.

Answer 2

Isabella gave you the best advice.

Answer 3

again, i add to the NO LIES advice.

you just just have stats, credits, skills, and training.  no personal interests and definitely not a paragraph about yourself.  if you want to share your work history and why you'd be good for the agent you put that in a cover letter which will accompany your headshot/resume in your mailing.  but this DOES NOT belong on your resume.

Answer 4

DON'T LIE, DON'T LIE, DON'T LIE, DON'T LIE! People tell you to do it but DON'T! They'll find out one way or another, and its a bad first step into the industry, this should help:

and i wouldn't write about yourself- just fill out the resume.

Answer 5

Yeah definately don't lie.

         Write experience you have, classes you've taken, and special skills like sports, gymnastics skills, accents, weird flexibility, etc.
