Answer 1

You are only 13, calm down! It is good to have goals and be ambitious but you are still very young. Go out for sports, hang out with your friends, DO NORMAL 13 YEAR OLD STUFF. There will be plenty of time to worry about your career later. Right now, have some fun. Besides, all the actors and actresses that hit it big when they are still young usually don't have a long career. (Look at all the "Disney channel" stars that have flopped) On the other hand, actors that pursue their careers later in life are usually much more successful.

I know that this isn't what you want to hear but it is the truth.

Answer 2

Find a local talent or modelling agency and get yourself on the books. They can usually take care of your portraits for you and will help you get the small jobs that build up a resume.

Audition, audition, audition. Do as much as you can and get as much experience as possible. If you're a pleasure to work with, you'll be hired again. And you never know who is in the audience.

Your resume can list any experience in your chosen field, not just paid jobs. Make sure to update it regularly.
