Brenda Song’s talent and natural screen presence have solidified her placement in Hollywood in both film and television.
Song can most recently be seen starring in Netflix’s Running Point opposite Kate Hudson. Executive produced by Mindy Kaling, Song plays Ali Lee, the Los Angeles Waves’ intimidating chief of staff in the comedy series. The series premiered February 27th on Netflix and was immediately renewed for a second season.
In addition, Song appeared in Gia Coppola’s buzzy new film “The Last Showgirl.” She stars opposite Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kiernan Shipka, and Dave Bautista. The film focuses on showing the story from behind the lights of Vegas show business, a highly anticipated divergence from the typical Vegas setting. The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival.
Song also starred in Amazon’s Love, Accidentally. Song starred opposite Aaron O’Connell in the romcom which follows two colleagues who are both going through break ups and are competing for the same promotion at work. They start to develop an anonymous relationship not knowing who the other person truly is.
Prior to this, Song starred in the Hulu series, Dollface, produced by Margot Robbie, opposite Kat Dennings, Esther Povitsky and Shay Mitchell. The American comedy follows a young woman who – after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend – must deal with her own imagination in order to literally and metaphorically re-enter the world of women, and rekindle the female friendships she left behind.
In Summer 2019, Song was seen starring in Netflix's Obsession, which was watched by over 40 million viewers within the first three months of its release. The popular psychological thriller was directed by Peter Sullivan. Song starred opposite Mike Vogel, Dennis Haysbert, and Ashley Scott.
Song rose to fame starring as London Tipton in the wildly popular The Suite Life Disney franchise and as the titular character in “Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior.” The actress starred as London Tipton in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, The Suite Life on Deck, and in "The Suite Life Movie” from 2005 - 2011. During that time, she also appeared in Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana.
Song has also had an extensive voice acting career lending her to Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai, Disney’s Amphibia, Disney’s The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, and Cartoon Network’s Robot Chicken, among others. Song’s other credits include David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” Jason Katims’ Pure Genius, recurring roles on Station 19, New Girl, and Scandal as well as the leading role in Freeform’s highly rated holiday movie, “Angry Angel.”
