Instead of using the typical portrait headshot, what are your thoughts on using a landscape headshot?

They both have their applications, depending on the actor's needs and personal taste.

Both are useful and acceptable presentations, the only exception being when a more standard vertical format is requested (for advertising layouts, actor directories, agency recommendations, etc.). Therefore you may want to ask your agent or manager beforehand if they have a particular preference, if not, suit yourself. It's all good.

“Whatever works.”

I like landscape, because it feels close to the aspect ratio of a movie screen. You could always go with horizontal on a vertical page. . . .but that's just an opinion, of course.
