Jed Abrahams

Jed brings years of legit talent representation, a fun but brief career as an actor, and a degree from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts to his work as Senior V.P. and Head of the New York Office of Kazarian/Measures/Ruskin & Associates, Inc.  

Jed began his career on the business side of the industry working as an intern at Henderson/Hogan. After only two weeks as an intern – a stint legendary for its enthusiasm and moxie – he was offered a full-time assistant position.  Jed immediately fell in love with talent representation and realized “This was what I was meant to do!” All the theatrical training, his time touring nationally in “bus and trucks”, and the years of pounding the pavement inform his work as an agent every day. After Henderson/Hogan, Jed went on to help develop and grow two other NY agencies, Stewart Talent, and The Talent House.

His unrelenting passion and ferocious advocacy have led his clients in recent years to multiple Tony nominations and Series Regulars on Television. Jed is proud to be part of the KMR family.
