Highest Paid Actor in TV Drama Loses Big Money in Cattle
Oh I hate to say it but we have another celebrity taken in a dubious livestock transaction, this time it is the highest paid actor in a TV Drama. Who could that be? Wanna Guess? I’m Susan Allen, stay tuned on OpenRange to find out. Tom Selleck just went to court over a horse sale gone bad, now a cattle brokers on trial for embezzlement and forgery for ripping off.... Jack Bauer, I mean Keifer Sutherland for nearly $900,000. Keifer’s is no neophyte to the cattle industry in fact the actor whom I loved as Doc in Young Guns owns a ranch and is an accomplished team roper who’s won two US team roping championship in the late 90’s with John English. Unlike a lot of ropers I know, he’s pretty humble about his success on the circuit and gives all the credit to his horses. Sutherland once said “roping is one of those sports like polo where you get infinitely better the better your horses are. I had some great horses” Oops but he doesn’t have some great cattle. Apparently the cattle transaction was over roping steers, Corrientes. The fellow charged with twelve felony counts and looking at an eighteen year sentence was a steer roper who was supposed to buy the cattle in Mexico with Sutherlands money to sell in in the US. but no cattle were ever purchased. Sutherland reportedly signed a $40 million dollar contract with fox, I think he’ll rebound okay. I’m Susan Allen
