EXCLUSIVE: The KMR talent agency, which has been grappling with “talent payment breakdown,” has suspended its franchise with SAG-AFTRA.

KMR owner and President Mark Measures today sent a letter to the guild, informing them of the decision. “After careful consideration and much deliberation, I have concluded that it is in the best interest of KMR and its clients to temporarily inactivate our franchise with the union,” he wrote. “This decision is not taken lightly, but it presents us with the opportunity to address and rectify the issues that have been causing significant distractions in recent times.” The move comes after Deadline revealed last Friday that KMR clients had been waiting for months to get their payments.

Over the past week, we learned of more agency checks that have bounced though at least one person saw their latest checks clear.

In the letter to SAG-AFTRA, Measures addressed the problems. “I want to assure you that I am fully committed to taking all necessary steps to correct these issues, including ensuring that all KMR client claims are handled appropriately,” he wrote. “Additionally, we will be restructuring the agency to ensure a stronger launch when we ask to reactivate our franchise with SAG/Aftra.” Measures has not returned Deadline’s request for further comment on how overdue payments would be handled.
