  Tanya Sangpun Thamkruphat of 13 Minutes magazine talked with Brenda Song about her pretty suite life.
  
  Brenda became interested in acting by watching "Star Search" as a kid. She decided she wanted to be on TV, so she started doing commercials before breaking into series television and movies.  "The thing I love most about acting is playing different characters and meeting all the different and diverse people," Brenda says.
  
  When asked her thoughts about the recognition of Asian-Americans in the entertainment industry, Brenda pointed out that while she was growing up the only Asian-Americans she'd seen on TV were Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.  "The opportunities are still limited," she says, "But now there are definitely more roles out there."
  
  Brenda is half Thai and half Hmong. Although she's never been to Thailand, she'd love to visit someday.  "If the opportunity came for me to work in Thailand, I'd be very interested. I love to try new things."
  
  Her final words included a message for aspiring actors to believe in themselves, "stay focused, and work hard.  Don't get discouraged."  And lastly, "I'd just like to thank everyone for watching the show and always supporting me."
