   Unless you’re a young teen, it will be difficult. Generally, because of SAG guidelines, productions will use 18+ actors for 15-17 year-old characters. The younger characters will often be cast with experienced child actors.
   That said, the most important thing about acting many times is luck. Find a reputable acting class in your area and then a good head shot photographer and as many legitimate agents as you can submit to.

   Yes you can, this is my dream too and I am pursueing it. Do school plays and/or local theater. Try to get an agent, they help out a lot. Its also a good idea to maybe submit a few resumes even if you have no prior expieience to tv shows or casting directors. There are a lot of roles for teenagers on disney channel and nickelodean also.

   You can. But remember that roles for adults outnumber roles for teens by more than a hundred to one. Adult actors are almost all unemployed. And they usually use a young looking 18 year old for teen roles. Your chances are remote.

   Sure no problem. Just remember most actresses and actors really make very little money when they start. There is an old expression. Sometimes an actress, always a waitress. Good Luck Kiddo
