Don't expect to see Portia de Rossi on the small screen after this season of Arrested Development. The 45-year-old recently revealed on The Ellen Degeneres Show that she's quit acting. "I called Mitch Hurwitz, who created Arrested Development, and I said if there is a Season 5, I won't be doing it because I quit acting. He seemed really understanding and he totally got it. We had a great conversation -- and then he wrote me into five episodes. Don't know how it happened, but, yes, I am on Season 5." She then said that she wanted to quit and start a business so that she didn't have any regrets.
