I am putting together my resume and I was wondering this: should I only put down info from the last 3 years (regarding the plays, films, commercials, and tv shows I have been in)? I know about the whole putting down all of my education, but the actual experience? What do you think? 2 years? 3?

Actor's resumes differ greatly from all other forms. From what I've seen they usually consist of "Date, Production & location, Director, Part/Role" separated into sections covering theatre, film and television work and there's never usually been a time limit, although I would caution against compiling a booklet. Ask your fellow thespians how they construct theirs for the best advice. You also have other means of personal publicity in showreels, agents, websites so the resume is only part of your armoury and would be a perfect introduction to a showreel for instance.

A performance resume is different than a typical resume. Look on line for examples. (Try typing in things like "acting experience", "special skills", or "musical theatre training".)
I would suggest that unless you have done lots of performance work, you should list all of the performance work that you've done in the last decade. Don't restrict yourself to the last couple of years. People will be interested in your range, and your development as a performer. If you need to limit what you list, it would be better to only list highlights, rather than restricting yourself by chronology.

There's no "statute of limitations" on the credits you list on your resume. You should put the ones that are most significant, most eye-catching, and most important to YOU. Remember, a best-case scenario is one in which a director (or agent, or casting director) will look over your resume, and want to chat with you about something he or she sees there. List the credits that are most likely to jump-start that conversation.
