Life and career
Bridgit Mendler was born in Washington, D.C., United States. It was after her family moved to the San Francisco area of Mill Valley, with her parents and brother, at age eight when she first expressed interest in acting and began working in plays.[3] She landed a San Francisco agent when she was 11 years old.[citation needed] When she was thirteen, she began working in the Los Angeles market, signing with a Los Angeles agent and landing her first LA role in the soap opera, General Hospital.[citation needed] Since then, she has been landing roles both locally and in Los Angeles.[citation needed] In 2007 she performed in Alice Upside Down.

She has also guest-starred in Wizards of Waverly Place, in 4 episodes of the "Wizards vs. Vampires" saga, 2 in the Moises Voice of Reason saga (where Justin begins Monster Hunting), and in the Wizards vs Werewolves one-hour episode. Her character, Juliet, shares a romance with a Wizard and she is a Vampire and at first the parents don't like each other but they can't change the fact that Justin and Juliet were made for each other.
