I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural.

Peter told his friends he was going to go any lengths to become an actor.

No. It's missing a preposition.

GoesStation,

I think I missed "to."
The sentence should be like this:

Peter told his friends he was going to go to any lengths to become an actor.

That's the right preposition in the right place. It's more natural to be willing to go to any (or great) lengths.
