Working as a bouncer

Iv'e been looking for potential work that i can do during the school semester, and I'm considering trying to find work as a bouncer/doorman.
There are plenty of bars and clubs where I live (NYC), im a big guy(6'5"), level headed, I can handle myself in a fight, and am good at calming down agressive drunk people, which I've been told is a substatial part of the job. The only possible problems I expect to enconter are that I have no expereince, and I am only 19.
If there is anyone who knows about either the club or security business, I would like to know if my age would be a deal breaker.

glad you said that in stead of " and am good at punching agressive drunk people in the face" 
some people who want to be a bouncer/doorman only want it because they like to fight. Those are the people who shouldn't be at any doors. you seem to do it for a good reason though, good luck!

Your age depends
If your that big, then I don't think it'll be a factor
The real question is: Are you sexy enough to be a bouncer?

haha, no, no steriods for me. As for sexy, I've seen some fugly ass bouncers, I think the idea is more along the lines on intimidating.

A better question would be: if an establishment only allows people who are 21+ through the doors, would they hire people who are under 21?

I don't think age will be an issue. I used to know a kid who was 16 who was a bouncer, huge guy he was.

One of the places I work at has 5 bouncers on the weekends, and they are all sponsored in UFC type fighting by the owner. If there is ever a place to not fuck around, it is there, because they are on steroids, and looking for any excuse to lay down an ass whoopin.

One time I went to a rave that was being held at a club and got in a yelling match with a bouncer who I guess hated trance.
That is my bouncer story.
