Bridgit Mendler is a 16 year old who is on the brink of taking the world by storm. Having already starred in a number of major movies, she has just been given her own Disney TV show. But just who is Bridgit and how did she get to this stage?
Bridgit Mendler was born on the east coast and largely did not take an interest in acting until she moved to the west coast aged 11. Moving to San Francisco, she found an agent who got her a number of small-time modeling and acting jobs. Despite this, Bridgit found that she had a passion for acting and wanted to chase bigger dreams. For this reason, she moved to LA when she was 13 and signed with Gersh Agency, a famous talent agency in Hollywood.With this agency she gained a number of other roles including a part on the show “General Hospital”. Although she had some success in these formative years, she really broke through when she was offered small roles in the movies “The Clique” and “Labor Pains”. Acting alongside stars such as Lindsay Lohan meant that she was quickly recognized by the Disney channel.Disney asked Bridgit to feature in the hit show “JONAS”. In this role, she played a single-episode girlfriend of Nick Jonas. Disney was so impressed with her that they asked her straight away to come back and do a four part series in the even bigger show, “Wizards of Waverly Place”. Filming had barely begun when they realized that Bridgit Mendler could be the next Miley Cyrus and so they offered her her own show, “Good Luck Charlie”. The show will have Bridgit as the main character who is forced to look after her younger brother by her absent parents.Bridgit Mendler is definitely one to watch in the future. With the backing of a huge studio such as Disney and already a growing fan base, Bridgit Mendler could be set to knock Miley Cyrus off her coveted perch.
