Hello. I'm a 14 year old girl and I really want to start acting. It's my ambition to become an actress, and I'm not gonna let it down. So I'm a danish and french girl. And I live in denmark. I want to play in english or american movies, because I speak a very good english, and english is like one of my favourite languages. So yes, I want to act in english/american movies. Soo my main question is: Is it important for the agents, to be american if you want to play in a english-speaking movie. The reason why I'm sking this, is because I know the movie world is in Hollywood etc. and that most succesfull movies are american. So, is it a big problem if I'm danish & french. And if I have a little accent.? Will it prevent me from getting a role when I go to auditions? Thnks

Given your age, ambition, and the English-fluency of your post, I'd say that you don't have any problems. I'd say to continue studying acting and English, and plan to attend an acting university in London, New York, or Los Angeles. Then you can get a noteworthy education, and be immersed in an English-speaking environment. Agents will probably just want to know if can do a local accent or not, so they know how to market you. You can keep it, and just know that you'll be cast as the woman with an accent. Or, you can study English or American accents to use when you act. Non-American actors do this all the time in American movies, and I never know they have a non-American accent until I see them in interviews. In short, just continue to do well in school and keep improving your acting, so you can get into a university wherever you want. You can worry about your accent later.
