Ellen Pompeo revealed on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast that she initially auditioned for 'Grey's Anatomy' out of financial necessity, despite her desire to focus on a film career. She expressed reluctance to join a television show, believing it would hinder her chances in movies. However, prompted by her agent, she accepted the role that ultimately became her breakthrough, earning her substantial income and establishing her as a leading actress. As of 2023, Pompeo has shifted to a recurring role, allowing her to explore new projects.
I was trying to be in good movies with great directors, but they were only really small parts, so I kept doing those. I kept getting cut out.
I had all these people call me and tell me how amazing I am and I should stay on this track. Why are you trying to derail me and put me over here?
