I didnt know what I was going to do.
I just knew that I really couldnt do Greys anymore.
It was to the point where I really just felt like an animal at the zoo.
Im a big believer in destiny.
I thought, if theres something else Im meant to do, its gonna find me.
But I know I have to leave this.
Pompeos status as the titular character may have made leaving the series a difficult decision.
It is a rarity that any series makes it to a tenth season, let alone a twentieth.
EntitledGood American Family, the show is a fictionalized account of the headline-grabbing tale ofNatalia Grace.
The intrigue gets stranger when the family becomes concerned that Natalia is actually an adult masquerading as a child.
The story hadstrange similarities with the horror film,Orphan, which came out some years prior.
Pompeo can also be seen on Season 21 ofGreys Anatomyairing on ABC.
