Happy Birthday Summer Glau!

Happy Birthday Summer Glau! She started out as a ballerina and played Prima Ballerina in the “Waiting in the Wings” (2002) episode of Angel.  Then, River Tam was her iconic role on Firefly (2002-2003), the sci fi western created by Joss Whedon.  She played a brilliant, though traumatized young woman experimented on by the Alliance. Glau returned as River Tam in the Serenity (2005) film. We discovered that the Alliance experiments had made River into a living weapon. Glau then played Tess Doerner in The 4400 (2005-2007).  Her next role was as Cameron Phillips, a Terminator sent to protect John Connor, in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009).  



She guest starred as herself in “The Terminator Decoupling” (2009) episode of The Big Bang Theory. Glau had a role in another Joss Whedon series playing Bennett Halverson, the chief programmer, in Dollhouse (2009-2010).  In 2011, Glau played Orwell, a blogger and ally to the hero of The Cape. She was next Skylar Adams in Alphas (2011-2012).  She played Gwen the LARPer taking on a demon in the action comedy Knights of Badassdom (2013).  Next, Glau was the villainous Isabel Rochev, who becomes Ravager, in Arrow (2013-2014).  She worked with fellow Firefly co-star, Alan Tudyk, in his series Con Man (2015).  Summer Glau plays Miss Jones in two episodes of the Netflix series Wu Assassins which will debut on August 8th!  Happy Birthday Summer Glau!
