Summer glau
She really must have impressed because she turned that one episode into the lead role in Whedon's upcoming hit TV series, Firefly. The character of Summer Glau, River Tam, was a complex character that Glau handled with ease. As Tam she was enticed into government-sponsored experiments that required her to be prepared to become the perfect assassin. Tam's capacity to control her emotions was taken away from her. Glau got the chance to showcase not just her acting talents, but her skills as a combat ace on Firefly. Being learning to be an assassin allowed Glau to show off her athletic ability. Summer Glau is a classically trained ballerina. It was her broken toe, however, that put the end of her dancing career. Firefly was only on for one year, but built a loyal fan base. Whedon was so enthralled by the show that he decided to return to the show just a couple of years later. In the meantime though, Summer Glau continued to get some quality work. Her appearances on television shows like Cold Case and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
