Mark Measures, owner and president of talent agency Kmr, was arraigned in the Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday after allegedly stealing money from the clients he represented.

Measures is alleged to have stolen $1.8 million from 160 actors based in New York and about $26,000 from six employees between June 2021 and March 2024. He was arraigned Tuesday as part of a 40-count indictment, which included one count of scheme to defraud in the first degree, three counts of grand larceny in the second degree, 28 counts of grand larceny in the third degree, five counts of grand larceny in the fourth degree and three counts of petit larceny.

Measures pleaded not guilty.

Measures represented clients including Elizabeth Perkins and Merrin Dungey on their voicework, and was a talent agent for clients including the late Wink Martindale and Meredith Monroe.

In court, prosecutors claimed that Measures “raided” the escrow account in which the agency kept their clients’ earnings.
