You need someone to help you. You need head shots, composites, color and b&w photographs that bring out your personality. The picture needs to tell the story because when you get an agent, they pass your photos on to people who need extras in commercials, etc. You can tell the agent you want to work at Disney MGM.

Hello. Good for you for wishing to be an actor. To get on any show, there are two things you can do. You can join an extra work company, or you can try and get an agent.
The extra work company will call you when there is work available, and you can become an extra (non-main character, usually non-speaking). It will cost a little bit of money to sign up with the company, but not a lot. You also need to have fairly descent grades because your school needs to sign your forms indicating so. When you do work, you will be paid each time (usually a few hundred dollars). The best part is, you can point yourself out to your friends and family when you see the show. I personally have a friend that has done extra work on Scrubs, ER, and Seventh Heaven.
If you have already done extra work and want to try to get some main parts, you need to hire an agent. Most agents will not just do the work for anyone. You need to apply and audition to get one. They also are much more expensive then an extra work agency. An agent will find work and audtiions for you. Usually, "agent work" will be much higher paying and will consist of lead or guest starring roles, such as one of Zack and Cody's friends, ect.
GOOD LUCK!

The only way you're going to get into auditions is with an agent.
You're going to need headshots, demo reels, and SAG membership even for small roles. Agents definitely help too.
I suggest you stay in school and get a degree. Get as much experience as possible with training and stage and acting in student films. Then try submitting yourself for roles. www.actorsaccess.com www.backstagewest.com are great sites.
Good Luck
