OK. What you're asking for you won't find here. It's best acquired through networking, hard work, research, and a permanent good attitude when dealing with agents, auditions etc. Even then you're more likely to fail than not; only 8% of screen actor's guild members make a living acting. But there's nothing like doing it etc so I won't try to discourage you.
Advice: Do some reading, fast. Learn a LOT more about what you're considering. Backstage West, as well as a LOT of other useful books, can be found at the Samuel French's bookstore on Sunset bl near Fairfax as well as the Samuel French's satellite store in the Valley near Laurel Canyon and Ventura bl. Get the exact address from Yahoo maps.
Good luck kid. Damn, I actually remember when _I_ was this naive...
