Early life

Bridgit Claire Mendler was born in Washington, D.C., on December 18, 1992.[7] She moved with her family to the San Francisco area town of Mill Valley at age eight.[8] It was there where she first expressed interest in acting and began working in plays.[9] On the decision, Mendler stated "I was 11 when I did a play out in Northern California and I really enjoyed it and I decided that I wanted to pursue a career and so I got an agent and did commercials and voice-overs and that sort of thing."[10] When she was only eight years old, Mendler began taking part in local roles in both dramatic and musical theatre, and became the youngest performer in the San Francisco Fringe Festival.[11] When she was 11 years old, she hired an agent to help her get acting jobs.[12]

Career

2004–09: Career beginnings and film debut

In 2004, Mendler got her first acting role in the animated Indian film The Legend of Buddha, in which she portrayed Lucy.[13] When she was only 13 years old, she got an acting role as a guest star on the soap opera General Hospital.[14] She portrayed the dream child of character Lulu Spencer, in which the two have an argument on Mendler's character's birthday.[15] The scene, lasting just under a minute, is later revealed to be a dream.[16] That same year, Mendler was the voice of the character Thorn in the video game Bone: The Great Cow Race, which was based on the Bone comic series.[17]

In 2007, Mendler made her film debut in the film adaption of the Alice series, titled Alice Upside Down.[18] Mendler starred alongside Disney Channel actress Alyson Stoner and Lucas Grabeel.[19] Bridgit portrayed the antagonistic role of Pamela,[20] who is the rival of Stoner's character, Alice.[21][22] For the film's soundtrack, Mendler provided backing vocals on the song "Free Spirit", performed by Stoner.[23] The film was released straight to DVD on October 6, 2007. In 2008, it was announced that Mendler would portray the role of Kristen Gregory in the film adaption of the popular teen novel series The Clique. Mendler had the role of Kristen,[24] a girl who attends OCD on a scholarship, and works hard to keep her good grades.[25] The Clique was released straight to DVD in Fall of 2008, her second film to be released in this format. In 2007, Mendler had begun working on a film with actress and singer Lindsay Lohan titled Labor Pains, which kept being pushed back due to various conflicts and problems. Though initially slated for a theatrical release, the film did not receive one in the US and was instead released as a TV film on ABC Family. The film did, however, receive a theatrical release in countries such as Russia, Romania, Spain, the U.A.E., Ecuador, and Mexico. The film drew 2.1 million viewers, a better-than-average prime-time audience for ABC Family, and per the network, was the week's top cable film among coveted female demographic groups.[26]

Beginning in 2009, Mendler became a recurring character in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, alongside Selena Gomez and David Henrie. Mendler portrayed the role of Juliet Van Heusen,[27] a vampire who later forms a romance with Henrie's character Justin Russo.[28][29] Mendler would go on to appear in eleven episodes total for the series, spanning from 2009 to 2012 when the series officially ended.[30] In 2009, Mendler had a supporting role in the film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. On working on the film, her first to require mostly green screen work, Mendler stated "It was really cool actually. They would first do a run-through of the scene with these little dolls that were the same size as the Chipmunks. Then they would take them out and during the scene as they were rolling, we’d have to work with air. So, in one scene Alvin holds up my finger. There was a lot of time spent on getting my finger in exactly the right place. It’s cool and pretty complicated, but super interesting."[31]

2010–11: Good Luck Charlie and musical beginnings

In 2010, Mendler became the star of the Disney Channel Original Series Good Luck Charlie, centering around a teenage girl who makes videos for her baby sister to watch as she gets older.[32] Adam Bonnet, Senior Vice President of original programming for Disney Channel, says Disney Channel executives "just fell in love with" Bridgit Mendler, who stars as the series' protagonist, a teenager named Teddy Duncan.[33] "She has all the attributes of a Disney star", said Bonnet.[33] Mendler first heard about Good Luck Charlie in late November 2008. After several rounds of auditions and cast reads, she finally secured the part in January 2009.[34] Mendler recorded the theme song for the series, titled "Hang In There Baby". There series premiered on April 4, 2010, and has since been met with a positive critical reception and viewership. The series premiered to 4.6 million viewers, making it the highest-rated series premiere for a Disney Channel Original Series since The Suite Life on Deck in 2008, and the week's highest-rated cable program.[35] Maclean's reported that overall, the first season "has been doing about as well as Disney’s more successful shows – The Suite Life and so on".[36] The series has, as of November 2012, aired three seasons,[37] and was renewed for a fourth in July 2012.[38]

The first single released from the soundtrack, titled "Somebody", was released on March 4, 2011.

We had such a great experience working on the movie, and they tried to figure something out for a sequel, but everyone at Disney felt like the movie had completed its story in the first movie. It was a great experience, and I loved working with the cast members and still see them frequently."[47]

In 2011, Mendler had the supporting role of Appoline in the straight to DVD film Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2, starring George Lopez and Emily Osment.[48] The movie had a mixed critical reception, but went on to sell nearly 30 million copies by the end of 2012.[49] Mendler recorded the song "This Is My Paradise" for the film, which was released as a promotional single on January 11, 2011.[50] The video of the song was recorded in Beverly Hills, California, in November 2010 and directed by Alex Zamm.[51] On March 31, 2011, it was confirmed that Mendler had signed with Hollywood Records, and had begun working on her debut album.[52][53] Later that Winter, Mendler also appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!, which premiered on December 2, 2011[54] on Disney Channel, almost ten years after Disney Channel's last Christmas-themed original movie, 'Twas the Night in 2001.
