Answer 1

Do you mean acting schools or do you actually want to obtain a degree in something like Theatre?

Both are different and you should research what you want to do and find out what is available in the the L.A. area and find out the requirements which you must meet to attend.

You will also need to look into visas, either the F1 or M1 depending on the choice you make, regarding work - you would be unable to work on the M1 and on the F1 visa you are only permitted to work 20 hours per week and employment must be on-campus i.e. not in a bar, resturant or any other place off-campus.

Regarding housing, there are plenty options if you attend a university there may be on-campus housing if not then you would have to find an apartment close to where you will be studying or find a room-mate.

Edit:

You need  to research what acting schools and/or universities are available in the L.A. area which suit your needs. Once you have narrowed it down, come back and ask further questions and we will be better able to help you.

As for a green card, that is for residency purposes and something which you do not need to be concerned with at all. What you need is a visa but before you even look into that you need to decide at which institution you want to study at and then apply.
