Kiefer Sutherland may play a tough guy on TV but in real life he got taken for nearly a million dollars in a cattle investment scam.

According to court papers, Sutherland invested $869,000 in cattle a few years ago, but the deal turned out to be, well, a bunch of bull.
Sutherland, who plays agent Jack Bauer on the hit series "24," was one of several victims of Michael Wayne Carr, a steer-roping promoter and cattle manager who is accused of bilking investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by the San Joaquin County, Calif., District Attorney's office.

The actor never met Carr, according to People magazine, but was told by a financial advisor that Carr would buy cattle from Mexico and resell them at a huge profit in the U.S.

According to the district attorney, Carr never bought the beef and even sold cattle that he never owned.
A New Mexico couple also lost $177,000 in the same scheme.

"Mr. Sutherland has been very friendly and helpful with our investigation," Deputy District Attorney Stephen Maier told People. "I'm sure he's happy someone's getting to the bottom of this."
Carr is expected to be arraigned on 12 felony charges: five counts of grand theft, three counts of forgery, two counts of obtaining money by false pretenses and one count each of embezzlement and falsifying corporate books.

He faces 18 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
As for Sutherland, will he remain a cow man? According to TMZ, Sutherland owns a ranch in Montana and has even entered rodeo competitions. Perhaps he'll, er, "steer" clear of any more cattle deals.
