• Answer:

  Have you already gone to college? That's a huge detail in what you have available. I'm going to assume you did and then you should start acting at your local theater and trying to find small film roles from a website such as backstage or actorsaccess. It would also help to hire an acting coach or take acting classes. You will not find a talent agent right now, a legit one anyway. Talent agents are paid on commission so they only want people with professional experience who they think are marketable so you'll need a lot more "professional" experience. After acting with your theater for a while and landing a few small screen roles then you might try to get a talent agent. Assuming you still haven't gone to college then you should do what I told you before but get your bachelors in acting. That helps a lot and gives you more credibility. Finally, you could go to a graduate school and get your masters of fine arts (in acting). Most graduate schools are very expensive, however, Florida State University waives the tuition fee for all of its Graduate students studying for their MFA.
