Its tough to get in there, but try calling them and being nice to the asst, tell them who you are right away, act like they should be happy to talk with you. Find out the names of the people you want to talk with, research them and their clients. Then tell them you want to discuss touring in europe.

At UCLA I'm being offered an internship to work for some agency, and I'm considering it. What are some things I should be aware if I do accept?

From your experience who is actually down to earth in the entertainment industry?
Like, who is just a normal person that has a pretty cool job and happened to get famous?
I understand your answer may be skewed since you are jaded and involved in the industry, but I'm curious anyway.

It was the Gersh Agency, and another called Rabineau Wachter Sanford and Gillett Literary Agency. Both agencies said they'd have interns reading/helping to choose scripts and meeting with agents/actors to pin down meeting dates and stuff like that. Any truth to that or is it the kind of thing an intern might do once they're done getting coffee and that other crap?

Looks trump talent only at a young age, talent is subjective though, people will groom a hot girl to be good after a few years of acting classes. it can be a long process. Talent usually wins out though, if you have both then its superstar potential, but of course most people don't pop

What the hell are companies thinking making movies like Marmaduke and Splice and these other movies that sound dumb from the start.
And who really approves of butchering movies like Dragonball Z and Avatar and Wolverine? Is the money really THAT good where they sell all the rights without a care?

i can help with this one
The vast majority of kids movies make money, no matter how crappy they are or look. They look extra crappy to us because we are not the target market, but kids movies are like Wayans Bros. movies or those spoof Scary Movie type stuff. As dumb as they look, they turn a profit so why not keep churning em out.

Have you encountered the Northwestern Mafia?
Spoiler [+]
In cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, the number of Northwestern alumni involved in theater, film, and television has led to perception of there being a "Northwestern mafia".
