“Kids on Camera helped me get my first San Francisco agent and discover that acting was something I really enjoyed.”
Bridgit Mendler (17)

“Bridgit has all the attributes of a Disney star. We just fell in love with her.”
Adam Bonnett, Senior VP of Original Programming at Disney Channel

Bridgit continues to receive excellent reviews in her starring role as Teddy in this new series. She got her start in the performing arts, at age 9, when she first attended Kids on Camera’s summer camp. She continued her studies in our TV Acting 1 and 2 school year series, which prepared her to participate in our talent showcase. Following the showcase, where she met local talent agents and film directors, she began attending auditions and getting cast in voiceovers and commercials. She continued her studies in our one-day workshops. Bridgit is represented by agents in San Francisco and Los Angeles. A big break for her occurred when she was cast in the movie, Alice Upside Down, which is based on a series of novels by Phyllis Naylor. Her co-stars included LA actors, Alyson Stoner  (Cheaper by the Dozen), Lucas Gabreel, (High School Musical) and Luke Perry (TV Series, 90210). Another big break occurred when she was cast as a co-star in the Warner Bros. film, The Clique.  The Disney Channel first cast Mendler on the comedy Jonas, where she appeared in two episodes playing a love interest for Nick Jonas. That was followed by a four-episode stint on Wizards of Waverly Place. • In her first starring role on Good Luck Charlie, on Disney Channels worldwide, Mendler plays Teddy Holliday alongside Disney regular Jason Dolley, who plays her brother Casey. When their parents go back to work full time after having a baby, the care and feeding of their new sister -- nicknamed Charlie -- falls to the teenage siblings. It’s a family show from a kid's point of view. Kids on Camera founder/director, Judy Berlin is not surprised at the success Bridgit is experiencing. From that first day camp, Judy was very aware of her talent. It was just a matter of time, having a passion for acting, her study of the craft, and being at the right place at the right time!

Phillip who is from San Jose, CA, was a student at Kids on Camera as a teen in TV Acting 1 and 2 and participated in your talent showcase. During high school he was cast as a lead actor, singer and dancer at San Jose’s Musical Theatre in Pippin, Leader of the Pack, Once on This Island, and many more. Currently he is the lead actor in a huge national commercial campaign for the VW! His other credits include a role on the HBO series Hung, an appearance on Spike TV, and he was cast in a Disney Nightastic commercial and is co-founded a theater company, The 6 & 7 Zealots.
