No its not ok!. I am getting really concerned with all the people giving incorrect answers on this forum, the majority of readers are obviously not professionals with any real knowledge!.

Standard protocol: acting resumes must be one page!. they are stapled to the back of the headshot; edges trimmed to be 8 by 10 matching headshot size!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No it's really not okay to have 2 pages, its good that you have many things on your resume, but a professional resume is kept to one page!.!. if you need to get it to one page keep the important part like plays, classes and get rid of like drama class or chorus, also you should only have about 6 things under talent and skills!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As you can see, you likely have a balance in numbers of opinions here, so far, and I agree with "LESS IS MORE"

A resume is a PROFESSIONAL way of expressing who and what you are in as few valid examples as possible!. That equates to the Corporate world as well!. Beyond that, you can offer a cover letter, but very honestly, NOT MANY care farther back than your most recent success!.

Certainly the number of experiences you've had matter to you, and hopefully to those who care about you, but might not matter at all to your next employer, beyond what might be most "Bankable" about you!.

Finally, since you gave us no details, it's difficult to analyze what you're considering for a resume!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The more information you have on your resume, the more the directorwill tend to like you before he even sees you perform! Although having a long resume may look good, don't make the font super big to make sure that it fills in four pages!. Anyway, to solve your question, from what I know, having a resume more than 1 page is fine!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your acting resume shouldn't be more than a page and you shouldn't have to squint to look at it!.
Having two pages is a hassle and directors & producers will get irritated and that's never good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I would cut back!.
Try to only pick the most important thing on your resume!. The more you have for experience the better, but it could be hard for the casting directors to read!. Try to keep it simple!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sure! if you've ahd that much acting experience, why not flaunt it!.
if it's all made up crap!.!.!.u might wanna cut back

hope this helps<3Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, keep it one page!.

In each section that's running long, pick only the best items and put "representative list" next to the category heading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I never seen a professional resume that was 2 pages long!. So I would say no!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
