I want to know if there is a fast and easy way of cutting acrylic?

If you want to cut odd shapes then use a dremel, if it's just straight likes then use a hack saw, or hole saw for holes . The trick is using low speed, and keep pouring water where you're cutting so the acrylic stays cool and doesnt crack.

Another way to ensure that it doesnt crack is to use something like a C-clamp to hold it against a piece of wood while you're cutting. That keeps it from shaking and cracking.

I use an X Acto knife and make deep grooves along the cut, and then when it's weak enough pull it out. This takes longer, but you don't have to worry about any cracks or imperfections.

EDIT: Go slow and make a shallow cut the first time as your guide groove. Guide grooves help alot for cutting.

You could also use a razor saw, it's a very thin fine saw that I use for cutting plastics finely:
