Sorry, but your dreams won't come true just by moving to the US!. The competition in the film industry (or the theatre industry) is HUGE and very fierce!.
You don't say how old you are!. Will you still be living at home with your parents after they sell their home!? London is much closer than the US, and you don't have any immigration hurdles to jump through!. If you are old enough to live on your own and be self supporting, move to London, get involved with theatre in any capacity you can, and start building your career!. If you are good you'll get ahead!. And talent scouts do visit the UK looking for new faces!.
Once you have achieved a certain level of success on your home turf, you can apply for a working visa to the US and have a reasonable chance of getting one, but if you simply go in to the immigration department and say "I want to be a movie star" (I know, I'm exaggerating, but bear with me) their response will be that you have no credentials to indicate that you have any possibility of making a success and America is full of stage-struck youngsters as it is!.
So - put in your apprenticeship on your home turf and then get ready to take the world by storm!.
