Russell Crowe came up with a good method. Hang around a set long enough and get offered a small film role (as a kid, his parents were film caterers). From that, do some theatre, play in a band, then do more film auditions, and finally win an Oscar, and play in another band.

Obviously helps if you have ATTITUDE.
