The structure of the given sentence is a compound sentence. It is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses. Each clause conveys a complete thought. These clauses are connected by the coordinating conjunction "and". The independent clauses are, "There were many talented actors present" and "there were just as many agents to represent them".
