Preparing an actor CV can be very exciting. The process requires a lot of creativity. Before you start the compilation of the CV find out about your intended role and the production company. It is important to know what skills and attributes the directors and producers will be looking for in the applicants for that specific role. You can then demonstrate these skills and attributes in your CV.
Remember that there are probably hundreds of applicants for every role. You should therefore try as much as possible to match your acting skills and personal attributes to the character you desire to play. Try and show the recruiters that you are easy to work with by mentioning that you have worked on several productions successfully.
