Jack Bauer is too good, CIA tells Sutherland

jack bauer keifer sutherlandI'm taking this story with a grain of salt, but if true it's pretty funny.

While vacationing at a ski resort, 24 star Keifer Sutherland was approached by someone who said they worked for the CIA. That person told him his portrayal of uber-efficient (and seriously sleep-deprived) Bauer had set expectations for CIA operatives too high. Seems the agent's mother had remarked to him that he should be more like Jack Bauer, who gets things accomplished quickly. No word on if the mother in question also advised her son to shoot people in the legs should they not cooperate willingly.

Actually, people work for the CIA in a lot of different capacities and can definitely let people know they work there, just not exactly what they do. I actually believe this story because just a week ago I was talking to my uncle who works in Comms at the FBI (doing wiretaps, that sort of thing) and he said all the guys at work got a real kick out of 24.

I would say that grain of salt is the size of a basketball. If he were in the CIA he wouldn't be telling anyone nevermind an actor who could tell the story to a reporter.
