Actors start at all ages. It's one of the best, coolest parts of acting--that you can show up on someone's scope years behind someone who has been training forever. If you have natural talent and charisma, you could land on the radar of the right people with little more than charisma and enthusiasm.

That's what makes acting so cool. It's like finding a chip on the floor in Vegas. Everyone has the same shot at making it a winner. ;) It's all about how you play it.

Of course, best case scenario, you've trained, you've studied, you've connected with people who can help you land on the radar of people who can make a difference in you career.

It's all a matter of "one day at a time." Get to working in everything you can do locally and expand to other projects in other markets as you can.

Break a leg!!

At first, it would be pretty hard. Remember that if you want to go acting, always start young in order to further develop your talent. If you're just starting, start from a scratch. Don't pressure yourself. Start slowly and surely.

no its not hard .

Ricky is right. It will not be hard. You just do it. However, college is neither going to prepare you for an acting career nor be of much use if you want to become a professional actor. I am a retired Theatre Department Chairman and I know college is pretty worthless for an acting career.
