I am a young amateur actor wondering how i would go about becoming a professional actor.?

• I am 17 years old. I am highly interested in the film industry but currently doing alot of stage performances for my A-levels all the way from Alice in Wonderland -> Oliver -> Jesus Christ Superstar (so a wide variety)... I am looking at entering the film industry for acting and was wondering if anyone had any advice know anything that needs to be done a certain way in which they could shed some light for me. Also was curious as to whether people know how i would be able to get hooked up onto an acting agency also any websites or advice they could pass down would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
