I have connections in the acting industry! But....?

Question:My moms' friends' friend is Actor Laz Alonso(This Christmas, Stomp the Yard) and I've been wanting to be an actress FOREVER. I want to ask him how to be out there and semi-famous like him, so I can work my way up. How do I do this without making it seem like I am using him?
P.S. I DO NOT want to act JUST for fame. I have a passion for it.
