Well I have very cynical views on it, but if you really push hard enough for it, you might be able to make it happen. However, as I've mentioned in another post, I've grown up in L.A. and I know tons of people who have tried to become actors and actresses, who are now stuck waiting tables because it just never happened. Some of them were better than some actors on TV and in movies, and it just didn't happen. The hardest part of becoming famous is getting into "the biz" in the first place. Good luck (you'll need it).

If you work really hard and do some research you might be able to get "there". But don't just focuss on that career. If you don't have another option you will not be sucessful.

That's a very good point. You should always have something to fall back on.
I hate it when people say they want to be famous, I think it is a terrible goal. It makes people think you are shallow, and all you want in life is to be rich and famous and have fans and have everything done for you. Unfortunately that's not how life works. Focus in something realistic that you enjoy and can make a great living out of, and if you keep doing auditions and acting as a side job, something might happen. Most people act because they enjoy it, there isn't a single famous person that grew up setting their sights on being famous... There are some that are infamous, like those girls who have no respect for themselves. You don't want that.
I know it's harsh but I really must say... Make use of your life, and don't spend it all trying to be a famous actor... No matter how amazing you are, the reality is it probably won't happen. Then you'll find yourself doing a shitty job and feeling depressed and sorry for your self because you didn't achieve your dream.
Have a nice life...
