Answer 1

Is your dream to be an actor? Or to be famous?

Because those are two totally different things.

To be an actor- start getting involved in the drama program at your school. Check your local newspaper for other events going on in the community- theatres, special events, etc.  You want to get experience performing in front of people and you want to meet as many people as you can. Once you get to high school, and college especially, your opportunities should increase. Stay patient. Success does not come over night.

If your only goal is to be famous, though... i'm sorry to say, but the odds are slim. Very few people achieve fame. And those who do, are the product of a lot of luck. There's not any "tips" i could give you on how to be discovered and 'make it big'.

Best of luck to you though!
