What is the official order for listing work on an actors resume?

I've been doing-

FILM (credits)
TV (credits)
Theatre (credits)
Commercial (credits)
Training
Special Skills

Also, I just recently received a commercial credit. Do I list the credit on my resume? OR...I've heard that you're suppose to write "Commercials available upon request” in that field???

Can someone who knows a lot about this give me some insight?

THANKS VERY MUCH!

That order is correct, especially for a Southern Californian.

Yes, for commercials, you always put "List Available Upon Request." Of course keep a separate list with the commercial and casting director in case a commercial agent asks for it.

Other options for the commercial category are No Current Conflicts or if you know you have a conflict (a commercial currently airing), it can say Conflicts available upon request.

Also, even for LA, if you are auditioning for theatre, you can have another resume listing your theatre credits first. Many LA actors, as well as NY, have a resume for theatre and a resume for theatrical.

Here is a thread for resume formats.
