Step 2: Education
- There are no education requirements to become an actor, but the more background and experience you have, the more versatile you will be as an actor. Consider attending a performing arts college, or major in drama at a regular university.
- Learn about filming.
- Participate in school film projects.
- Audition for low-budget and independent films.

Step 4: Audition, Audition, Audition
- You want to put yourself out there, and take on as many roles as you can. The more experience you gain, the more likely you will be to get work later on. Prepare yourself for rejection. Getting the roles you desire early in the game isn't likely, but don't give up. Think of every rejection as an opportunity to make yourself stronger. If a casting director offers criticism, take it with you and use it as a learning experience.

Step 6: Work with an Agent
- You don't need an agent to get you work, but it can be incredibly helpful. Agents often have connections that will get you inside casting calls the public may not have access to. They are also powerful negotiators who will work hard for you, because if you're not working, they aren't earning a living either.

Conclusion
- There are no guarantees in the film industry, except that for the time being there are films to be worked on. If you want to become a movie star, you need to be flexible, versatile and educated in both acting and the business. Start acting as early as possible, participating in local and school productions. In the beginning, you should never be too proud to participate in low-budget and independent films, as a great actor has the potential to make a film with a low budget shine. You should also take extra work whenever you can get it, so you can build up your resume. Consider moving where the work is, and working with an agent, who will help you get the roles you long for. Most important, don't give up. Perseverance will ensure that you are in the right place at the right time when the role of your dreams falls into your lap.
