A manager is easier to get than an agent. An one of the things they can get for you is and agent.
Agents are plugged into the studio system and have the ability and legal authority to negotioate legal contracts on your behalf.
A Manager's job is more nubulous. A Manager typically works as a mediator, a guy/gal who introduces you to "the right people" while taking a more active role in guiding your career than an Agent.
In my case, I have a lawyer, manager and agent - each one's job is slightly differentiated, but there is also a great deal of crossover.
you certainly don't need both, but yuo do need one in order to get your scripts read by anyone.
No one in this town takes unsolicited scripts.
