I am wanting to get into acting. My intention is to get a job acting in a TV show in the UK. Now i live in the US and im not 18 yet.

Just curious, why the UK? Not to discourage you, but I would imagine you would have lots of competition from young British actors that can do an American accent if necessary. And if you would try to play a Brit, do you have the dialect chops?
I'm wondering why you don't want to try NY, LA or even closer to your own hometown. Lots of cities have their own talent agencies and acting venues. You can try to gain experience locally and build up your resume. You might have to start in theater and amateur productions but this will increase your skills and make you more marketable to TV and film producers. I've also read that because it's now so expensive to film in Hollywood anymore, film/TV shows are branching out much more to shoot in other U.S. cities and Canada and they do use local actors and extras.
