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 Glau’s 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 named Cameron 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). Gwen the LARPer was played by Glau 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). Then, Glau was in a 2016 episode of another Firefly cast member, Nathan Fillion, and his series, Castle. In 2019 she was Water Wu in two epsiodes of Wu Assassins. Happy Birthday Summer Glau!
