Acting - Is there anyone here who has either "made it" or do you have a friend who has?

I am in personal communication with a handful of actors who have had fairly successful careers overall, but none of the advice they gave me has really sparked anything to be able to emulate that in any way.

I've always wanted to Act. I only started Theatre Studies 2 years ago. I'm the oldest in the class. Sometimes I really let the age thing get to my head and tell myself I'm too old. Anyone else in the same boat?

How does anyone here find an effective way to learn lines?
