How do I become an actor? What are my chances?

I am 14 years old. I loved movies and pretending to be someone else ever since I was a kid. I had a problem too though. I have social anxiety. By myself, I can express myself. I only started practicing acting a year ago in my drama class. I get very trembly and try to finish the play as fast as I can. Is there anything I can do to break through the anxiety? I have a lot of friends, but in front of strangers i feel helpless. I think im serious enough to move to Hollywood right after high-school. But, once i get there I don't know what to do. Let's say im a pretty good actor, and if i had the chance, i would make a pretty good main character, what would my chances be for the role if I had no previous experience in acting or major plays in school? Do they care? or do they judge at the moment I audition? If the show is a success, is there a possibility i may be recognizable enough in the streets?
