    Almost all professional actors, famous or otherwise, started by attending a local acting class and performing with a small community or youth theatre company.

    If they then found out that they had real talent, they'd go on to audition for a place at a top acting/drama school where they'd study for several years at degree level.  They'd be regularly performing to gain experience as well.

    Only after graduating would a real agent consider signing them and finding real auditions for them.
