Portia de Rossi’s alternate career:

The actress recently revealed that she had previously attended law school before getting into acting. Portia de Rossi said: “I went to law school for a year thinking I was going to do that for a living before I went to acting. To think that career could have been my life is pretty shocking to me.” Portia de Rossi also commented on the character she plays in the upcoming movie “Better off Ted”: “You’re just trying to get ahead and be successful, but at the same time, if you’re working for a company like this, it’s so immoral. It doesn’t care about people, it doesn’t care about you, but you’re striving to achieve this great career.” Amazing, Portia de Rossi actually learned something from the movie she stared in. That’s a lot more than you can say about most actors these days. And moreover, she realized that being a successful lawyer implies being ruthless. Now if only she would start sharing this knowledge the world might become a better place.
