KMR SVP Jed Abrahams Resigns After Agency Suspends Franchise With SAG-AFTRA


One of KMR's top agents, Jed Abrahams, today resigned from his post as SVP and head of the agency's New York office.

In his email, Abrahams noted that “as per Mark Measures, KMR remains open” amid swirling speculation on social media over the weekend that the agency’s suspension of operations may be permanent. KMR also recently exited the Association of Talent Agents (ATA), the trade organization that negotiates agency franchise agreements with the major entertainment guilds and does legislative lobbying on behalf of its members. As Deadline reported on Friday, Jamie Hernandez, Head of Adult On-Camera Commercial, and talent agent Alicia Ruskin, Partner/SVP, announced to clients that they will be opening their own shop, True Artists Agency, with at least one other KMR employee joining them as a coordinator.
