No, agents are not the guys in the Matrix who will come and get you if you try to help Morpheus save Zion. Most of them probably don't know any Kung Fu, and they are generally unarmed, but they are powerful, and they are part of a massive system that will crush you if you don't learn how to survive. Agents are the people who can help you get work, negotiate your salary, and represent your general interests. Ideally, you have a good relationship with them and they look out for you as much as they can, trying to get you quality, paying gigs.

Agents are not always so helpful though, and some of them do begin to resemble the Matrix agents when they don't return phone calls for months after charging some outrageous amount to join their agency. What recourse do you have? Not a lot, but luckily we are not talking about all agents.

Agents primarily are there to help you, but they are also business people. If they have actors on their roster that are well-liked by their clients at the studios or production companies that pay them for their services, they may spend more time working on getting that particular actor more work than they will trying to help you get your foot in the door. Sometimes agents will go out of their way to make an extra effort for a client, but as an actor you must learn how to find paying gigs on your own, without relying on an agent.
