An actress from the age of six, Brenda Song first achieved pronounced fame in her teens, by virtue of frequent work in Disney Channel productions. Born in 1988 to a Thai-American mother and a Hmong father, Song landed one of her earliest screen assignments in 1996, with a small part in the Hulk_Hogan comedy Santa_With_Muscles, then appeared in the following year's big-screen comedy Leave It to Beaver. Scattered assignments in television series followed, including Judging_Amy, 7th_Heaven, and The_Bernie_Mac_Show, and Song son graduated to Disney Chanel work at age 12, with parts in that station's cable telemovies The_Ultimate_Christmas_Present (2000) and Get a Clue (2002). She broke through to her widest audience, however (and maintained a much higher profile) when she starred opposite the Sprouse twins, Dylan and Cole on the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (2005). On that series, Song plays London Tipton, the spoiled-rotten daughter of the owner of the hotel where the titular youngsters reside.

Song then had an opportunity to show off her interest in tae-kwan-do as the title character in the martial arts extravaganza Wendy_Wu:_Homecoming_Warrior (2006) and tackled a supporting role opposite Raven-Symone and Martin_Lawrence in the road comedy College_Road_Trip (2008).
