Sample Actors
Cover Letter
An actor or actress has a more leeway to be more creative with his or
her resume and cover letter than when applying for other industries.
The acting industry is considered to be quite creative and taking the
time to be creative, and even at times, off beat resume and a cover
letter can be a good way to get noticed among a crowd of many.
The applicant in the sample actors cover letter below has utilized this
opportunity to do just that. He begins the cover letter with an
interesting
reference to destiny. As most cover letters begin with an
introduction to how the applicant learned of the position this is a
good way to get the employer’s attention.
After the unique opening, the applicant then goes on to mention how he
learned of the open position. If you have learned of the position
through a mutual acquaintance, do not hesitate to state this in the
cover letter. This can be a good way to get an interview.

Dear Mr. Gentry:
Destiny.
I absolutely believe in destiny.
Sandra Simmons and I were speaking on the phone last week. She
told me that she had a friend from college who was opening a new
repertory theatre in the Poconos and thought I would be perfect for the
job with my diverse background in all areas of the theatre. We
finished our conversation, and I was taking a sip from my cup of
coffee....You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw your
ad in last week's Variety for a summer rep theater director just five
minutes after we had gotten off the phone.
When could we speak to discuss our mutual friend and this summer rep
director position?
Sincerely,
Jordan Reeves
