Bridgit Mendler is an American actress, musician, and singer-songwriter. She plays Teddy Duncan in the Disney Channel Original Series Good Luck Charlie and appeared in the 2009 made for television film Labor Pains. In 2009, Mendler became a recurring character for the Disney Channel Original Series Wizards of Waverly Place. In December of that year, Mendler made her theatrical debut in the film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel, released on December 23, 2009. Following the positive reception to her character on the "Wizards", Mendler became the star of the Disney series Good Luck Charlie, which premiered in April 2010. In 2011, Mendler appeared in the film Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas.
She starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie Lemonade Mouth, in which her character Olivia performs numerous songs. Two singles were released from the soundtrack featuring Mendler's vocals, with both charting on the US Billboard Hot 100.
In 2012, Mendler released her debut album Hello My Name Is..., which featured a pop sound. It debuted at number 30 on the US Billboard 200. Her debut single off the album "Ready or Not", became an international Top 40 hit, and peaked at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Bridgit Mendler just released her music video for "Hurricane," which follows the Disney star through a day in London -- from waking up to a crazy evening dance party with her friends. Between the success of "Good Luck Charlie" and her debut album "Hello My Name Is" coming out this past September, we'd say she's one to watch.
