You are pursuing this to be famous, not because you have a love of acting. You'll never make it with that attitude becuase it's not so easy as just showing up. No one is going to give you a role in a professional production when you have never done anything before.
And no one here is going to do the work for you. Especially someone who is only in it to be famous.

Oh jeez. Where to begin? First of all, I think you need to decide how serious you are about becoming an actor . It's an endless amount of work that usually provides little return. People don't become famous over night . . . and not usually in this profession either. And asking Yahoo answers is probably not the best way to go about starting an acting career. Also, you mentioned that you want to be like Denzel and Will . . . good luck. First of all, neither of them got their start by sending out a message like this one. It took hard work and persistence. And you shouldn't want to be like them anyways . . . Hollywood already has a Denzel and a Will . . . they don't need you to act like them, they need you to be you. So . . . in conclusion, I think you need to figure out what you really want: the fame or the opportunity to perform. If you just want to be famous . . . you're going into the wrong profession that is filled with rejection. If you want to act, go take a few acting classes at your local college and decide if you truly enjoy it. This little gig here just sounds desperate. And you spelled over 50% of the words you typed incorrectly . . . it just looks bad. No one would hire you. Sorry. I'm just being honest.

Your best bet is to write, direct, and star in your own movie.
HD video cameras can be bought for under $1000, and you could do the editing on a $500 computer. If the story and acting are compelling enough, audiences will overlook technical flaws.
Your government may have subsidies available for locally-produced movies that you can take advantage of.
