BIGIs - I think your original theory is correct - if an agent gets an electronic submission, I would be willing to bet if they print it out, it would be on 8 1/2 x 11, and I agree that I doubt if anyone in the office is going to trim it down to make it 8 x 10.

And Soozie - my point about kids “owning” their resume is not about the typing and the formatting - it’s about the content. Labelling a role as (Lead) strikes me as a very parent-ish thing to put on a resume. From my perspective, that is a real turnoff to me, and others with whom I’ve cast. I want to use people who want to act, not who want to be stars. And, usually when I have seen things like that on the resume, it has been the parents doing it - makes me wonder if I’ll hear the “woosh” of the blades overhead. :)
