• Can you find a subject?
• So, is agent the same thing as subject?  Not quite. 
• The agent is that which does the action in a sentence.  Usually, that's the subject, but not in a passive construction. 
• Tom kicked the ball. 
• Tom is both the subject and agent.  The ball is the patient.

• The ball was kicked by Tom. 
• The ball is the subject (and patient).  Tom is the agent.
