In just a few short years, Bridgit Mendler has risen to become one of the Disney Channel's most popular stars thanks to the success of her series “Good Luck Charlie” and the Disney Channel original movie “Lemonade Mouth.” On Friday, the 19-year old heads to the big screen, voicing the title character of the animated Disney film “The Secret World of Arrietty,” and that has given rise to the idea Mendler may be the next Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato. But Mendler, who was born in Washington, D.C. and raised outside of San Francisco, is quick to point out that she's her own person looking to expand her career in her own way. “I'm not just following a trend. The Disney girls are presented with so many awesome opportunities that it's something to really take advantage of,” she told Reuters.
