Brenda Song sagt, Disney wollte nicht, dass sie in „Gran Torino“ und „The Social Network“ auftritt. Sie wehrte sich: „Dies ist die Gelegenheit meines Lebens“

> Though many young actors struggle with the transition into more mature roles, Song seemed to make the jump fairly smoothly thanks to a role in David Fincher’s “The Social Network.” It was a role she had to fight for, as she was still appearing on “Suite Life.” She had previously been considered for a role in Clint Eastwood’s film “Gran Torino” and wasn’t allowed to pursue it. “The character had an intended sexual assault scene, so Disney nixed it,” Song explained. “And I was very upset but I was like, ‘Okay, I guess it didn’t work out.’”

> There were similar concerns about the content in “The Social Network” but this time, Song went directly to Gary Marsh, the president and COO for Disney branded television at the time. She revealed, “I was just like, ‘I am an actor. When you hired me, I was not a hotel heiress. If I have ever done anything in my personal life to ever draw bad attention to your company, I understand. But this is the last season of the show, and this is the opportunity of a lifetime.’ And I was so fortunate, they were so supportive. They allowed me to do this film that truly changed my life.”

No offense to her but she’s pretty forgettable in the Social Network, she seems to have done a lot more for her notoriety through leveraging Disney channel fame
