I've seen a whole bunch of resumes over the last couple of days. At the bottom of the resume is a section called "special skills". This usually includes skills like playing an instrument, horseback riding, ice skating...you get the idea.

Occcasionally actors will include an out-of-the-ordinary skill such as baton twirling, burping on command, and master joke telling.

My favorite so far was a woman who did a "Lena Lamont" impersonation. I couldn't let her leave the room without doing a bit of "I can't stand 'em".

She was a bit taken aback, but quickly responded with an outstanding rendition of "I can't stand 'em". Then our choreographer asked her do say "people, people" and she really got rolling! What fun...
