Former clients of KMR Talent waiting for hundreds of thousands of dollars in back wages have been advised not to seek arbitration against owner and president Mark Measures, who revealed in March that his commercial talent agency was struggling with a devastating “payment default.”
KMR Talent – Daily lesson
In a letter obtained by Deadline, the leader of a group called the KMR Claimants Arbitration Committee told former KMR clients that a Level 1 asset investigation into Measures’ firm suggests he may not have the funds to successfully pursue arbitration. To wit: The Integras report reveals that there are currently eight judgments and liens filed between 2017 and 2023 against KMR totaling $520,720. Of that amount, KMR has only repaid $3,298.
Measures is listed in several of these documents as a co-debtor of the company, the report said.
"Our attorney and the SAG-AFTRA litigation team believe that we should not proceed with this arbitration," said Brian Cade's letter, which was distributed Monday. "I'm going to take a leap here and assume that this news makes you as angry as it does me. … I will say that, on behalf of the other members of the KMR Claimants Arbitration Committee, we have been proud to lead this effort and work with you regardless of the next steps forward. Thank you for your insight, questions and dedication, and I'm sorry I can't reach you with better news."
