Acting is a hard business to break into, and only a small percentage of people achieve real success as working actors. That doesn't mean you won't be one of the lucky few who make a living as an actor, but your odds are not good.
The first thing you need to do is take acting lessons (or at the very least, try out for some school plays.) You need to see if you have any talent. Acting isn't for everybody.
If you do have talent, and you really enjoy acting, take some professional lessons. Most actors study for years, perfecting their skills. Also go on lots of auditions. Try to get into commercials, first. They're a good way to work on your ability to appear natural in front of a camera. Also try out for community theater productions, if you can. The more you audition, the easier it gets. And the more you act, the better you'll be at it.
Whatever you do, DON'T NEGLECT YOUR EDUCATION! From the grammar and spelling in your question, I'd say you need to pay more attention to your schoolwork. Being a TV or movie star is a crap shoot. Landing a big part is like winning a lottery, and you know how few people win lotteries.
But if you get a solid education behind you, it won't matter if you never achieve success as an actor. You'll have real marketable skills to fall back on, and you'll be able to make money and support yourself as a lawyer, teacher, doctor, or whatever else you want to be.
So give acting a shot, but be prepared to work hard and face a lot of rejection. And also be prepared to fail. I hope you don't, but the odds are you might. But if you study hard and do well in school, you'll be a success in some field even if acting doesn't work out.
Good luck. I hope you find happiness in whatever you do.

If you want too act in movies the best way to do it is to get an agent and he will find auditions for you. But before you get an agent you need to have a good acting background, start off (if you are still in school I dont know how old you are) by doing school plays then you can go to your local performaing arts school and take classes. Once you feel you have enough experience to audition for community theatre you can look up theatre's in your area and audition for a play. Once you feel you have done enough community theatre try contacting an agent. Once you have a list of agents you are interested in send them your resume (a list of all experience you have had in your acting career) if you do not hear from the agent in a couple of weeks send them a postcard to let them know that you are still interested. If you do not hear from them yet again call the studio that they work for and ask them if they have recieved your resume. A very important thing to remember is to show consideration to the studio's time. Channces are that when you call you will either get an answering machine or they will tell you that the agents are currently looking at your resume. Respond only by saying: thankyou very much I understand how busy you are and I do not want to take up your time. They will be very surprised at this response and will consider you for their agency. Keep continuing this process until the agent responds. Remember this a good time to be aggresive but dont be too agressive because all agencies will just see you as another voice. Once the agent contacts you you can make an appointment with him for an interview. If your interview goes well in a matter of weeks you will have signed a contract with the agent and he will find you auditions and before you know it you will be on you way to the set of your first film.

Soryy, it doesn't work that way. The only people who get to choose what movies they are in are the mega stars. You are obviously too young and tooinexperienced to be an actor. YOu cant even spell it. Managers are for mega stars also. You can go back to being a teenie bopper now.

I didn't know you wanted to be an actress! Which show do you want to be in?
You have to take acting lessons, and then try out for commercials. Businesses might like you in the commercial and want you in there movie.
