Brenda Song (born March 27, 1988) is an American actress, model, voice actor, host and singer. After appearing in several television roles and advertisements during the late 1990s, Song earned a Young Artist Award for her work in The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000). She went on to appear in successful feature films aimed at teens including Like Mike (2002) and College Road Trip (2008) and several successful teen television movies on Disney Channel including The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000), Get a Clue (2002), Stuck in the Suburbs (2004) and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006).
In 2005, Song landed the lead role in the hit Disney Channel Original Series, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody where she portrayed spoiled hotel heiress London Tipton. The shows ratings were the highest for a Disney Channel production in 2005. Song reprised her role as London in the Suite Life spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck. In addition to acting, Song produced several episodes of the Suite Life and co-produced a Disney Channel pilot for a Suite Life spin-off, Arwin!.
She became an international teen idol in 2006 after she starred in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, which is one of the top rated Disney Channel Original Movies, with over 5.7 million viewers on the night of its premiere. Song co-produced the film and will star in the Wendy Wu sequel.
Early life
Song was born in Carmichael, California (a suburb of Sacramento) to a Hmong father and a Thai American mother (adopted by a Hmong family). Her paternal grandparents were part of the Xiong clan, but changed their last name to Song when the family immigrated from Laos to the United States in 1975 because of the Vietnam War. Her mother, Mia Song, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, is a homemaker, and her father works as a second-grade teacher. She has two younger brothers, Timmy and Nathan.
Song and her mother relocated to Los Angeles when she was 6 to support her acting career; the rest of the family followed two years later. Song holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and was named an All-American Scholar in ninth grade. Homeschooled, Song earned a high school diploma at age 16. Song took courses at community college and online from the University of California, Berkeley while majoring in psychology and minoring in business.
Acting
Early work (1995–2004)
Song started in show business as a child fashion model in San Francisco after being spotted by an agent from a modelling school in a shopping mall. She began acting with a Little Caesars commercial at age five. Song then had a small role in the television program Thunder Alley, where she appeared in two episodes.
Song's first film appearance was in the 1995 Requiem, an AFI student short film by actress Elizabeth Sung. Song was discovered at 7 years old to play a young version of "Fong", who is played as an adult in the film by Tamlyn Tomita. The film won a CINE Golden Eagle award. Song later appeared in another short film directed by Elizabeth Sung called "The White Fox".
Song's first role in a theatrical motion picture was with Santa with Muscles, a 1996 independent film starring professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. Her next film appearance was in Leave It to Beaver (1997) as Susan Acustis.
Song's first major television role came in 1999 with Nickelodeon's 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd, where she played Sariffa Chung. After this she had numerous minor television roles in 7th Heaven, Once and Again, Popular, Fudge,'Judging Amy, The Nightmare Room, One on One,George Lopez, Mad TV, For the People, The Brothers Garcia and appeared in Bette with close friend Ashley Tisdale in 2001.
Song starred in the 2000 Disney movie The Ultimate Christmas Present, which won her a Young Artist Award for "Best Performance in a TV Movie Comedy, Supporting Young Actress".
Her 2002 appearance on The Bernie Mac Show led to a Young Artist Award nomination for the category "Best Performance in a Television Comedy Series, Guest Starring Young Actress".
Her first major role in a feature film occurred the same year in the family film Like Mike, which remains her highest grossing film to date. The film also starred rapper Bow Wow. Song portrayed the character Reg Stevens; the film received positive reviews and was successful enough to spawn a sequel, although Song did not participate. Like Mike grossed over $50,674,320 worldwide and landed number one in the box office and landed number two in the UK box office grossing an estimated £10,096,799 in it's opening weekend. The movie is Song's second highest grossing film.
After 2002, Song continued to make guest appearances in Disney Channel shows like That's So Raven, and had minor roles in many American sitcoms. In 2002 Song appeared in Get a Clue, the first Disney Channel Original Movie to receive over 1 million viewers. In July 2003 she was featured in an edition of Vanity Fair with nine of Hollywood's popular female young stars. She had a recurring role as Tia in the Disney Channel's Phil of the Future, appearing in seven episodes in 2004 and 2005.
In late 2004, Song starred in the Disney movie Stuck in the Suburbs, where she portrayed Natasha Kwon-Schwartz. The film received an average 4.5 million viewers which made the film the highest top rated and most viewed TV movie in 2004. The film broke records and Song quickly became a teen idol. "When Stuck came out it was crazy 'cause we went to six flags and we were there and so many kids recognized us from Stuck in the Suburbs, I'm like wow that movie must have done really well." That year, Song was on TV Guide's "The 13 Hottest Young Stars To Watch", and posed on the cover of Teen People with Get a Clue co star and fellow teen idol, Lindsay Lohan.
Lead TV role (2005)
In 2005, Song won the role of the selfish heiress London Tipton (a spoof on Paris Hilton, London spoofing Paris, and Tipton is the name of the Hotel her father owns in the show) on Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

The series eventually earned a 2007 Young Artist Award for "Best Family Television Series (comedy)", an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Children's Program", and two Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for "Favorite TV show". Song won an Asian Excellence Award nomination for "Outstanding Newcomer" and three wins at the Young Hollywood Awards.
As the Suite Life series became popular, Song became a featured performer on the Disney Channel, and acquired a voice role in Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long series.

Both Song and Koyamada are martial artists.
Song's performance in the movie received many positive reviews from international publications including the New York Times, TV Guide and Vanity Fair. In 2006, she won a "Disney Channel Japan" award for "Favorite Disney Channel TV Star" for her performance in the movie. Song posed on the cover of Seventeen Magazine, Teen People, Teen Magazine and several other magazines to promote the film, as well as traveling to Malaysia, Singapore, and Costa Rica.

Personal life and public image
Song turned 20 on March 27, 2008 and spoke out against becoming another wild Hollywood star. "Besides Hollywood grand-openings and award shows, I try to stay away from the parties. It’s so easy to be swept away from that whole scene because it’s expected of you. I’ve never drank or smoked in my entire life, but I’ve seen 15-year-olds drinking and smoking and I just think that’s gross." According to Time, Song is one of the three Disney starlets who have not been involved in the Hollywood party girl scene, along with Hilary Duff and Raven-Symoné.
In 2006, Song was hostess for the "A World Of Change" annual charity fashion show fundraiser to benefit Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services. Song also participated in The 10th Annual L.A. Cancer Challenge. In addition, as part of the Disney Channel Games 2007, Song's team supported the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Song endorsed Bebe stores for their 2007 season, following in the footsteps of actresses Eva Longoria and Mischa Barton. Song featured in advertising for the Eckō Red clothing brand. She participated in commercials for Little Caesars and Barbie and Ice Breakers candy. In 2006, a series of articles by Scholastic included facts about Song and mathematical guidance from Song. The first article in the series is "Maths Spotlight on... Brenda Song". Merchandise for Song's show was released, video games, books, board games and a clothing line which Song helped design where shipped to worldwide retailers such as Target.
In late 2007, she became the official spokesperson for Club Libby Lu. Song appeared in print campaigns for Got Milk?, a print ad for clothing store "JC", in-store posters for Aéropostale clothing, Gitano Jeans and Keds Sneakers. In 2008, the Internet website Stardoll.com previewed Song's doll to customers by allowing them to dress up a paper doll on the website (which includes stardoll's doll version of Song) with the clothes designed by Song. Song and her pet dog Honey made a minor appearance in the Electronic Arts game The Sims 2: Pets, which was released on October 2006. In console versions of the game, Song's character visits public areas and allows the players to let their Sims socialize with Honey.
Image lawsuit
On April 18, 2008, a picture of Song was featured in an escort ad in the back of that week's LA Weekly. The advertisement was promoting sexual activities. Disney lawyers were not pleased with the use of Song's copyrighted image for advertising adult activities. A rep from Disney told TMZ.com that "This is an unauthorized use of Brenda Song's image and her personal attorney has issued a cease and desist to the advertiser." Song is now filing a lawsuit against the Vibe Media Inc. She told TMZ: "In filing suit, I hope to prevent this company from doing this again to anyone else". She is seeking $100,000 in damages. Song also told E! News: "As a role model to millions of young people, I feel I have to take a stand against this company in regard to its exploitation of my image".
Song's attorney Lawrence Steinberg of Buchalter Nemer in Los Angeles stated to Back Stage:
"I'm not sure if they were trying to just find a picture of a pretty girl or an Asian-looking girl or whether they expected that Brenda would be recognized in a sexually promoted escort ad, Brenda's demographic is a lot different from what I would suppose the clients of this business are. If you're the sort of person who would use the services of a business like escort services, it is quite possible that Brenda Song would not have come up in your minds when looking first at the ad."
Steinberg also stated the photo used in the ad was taken when Song was 16 years old. Steinberg said that Vibe Media. Co was not responsible for the use of Song's image, and that he had identified the individual who is responsible. "Brenda's public image is very important to her. Brenda has been careful to not accept roles that would taint her in the way that some other young actors have been," he said.
