Summer glau
She really must have made an impression since she transformed that single episode into the lead role in Whedon's upcoming hit TV series, Firefly. Her River Tam character was complex and Glau was able to handle it. As Tam she was forced into government experiments that required her to be prepared to become the perfect assassin. Tam lost her ability to regulate her emotions, as a result. On Firefly Glau was capable of displaying not only her acting abilities but her ability to fight. Being learning to be an assassin allowed Glau to show off her athletic skills. Summer Glau is a classically educated ballerina. She's also trained in flamenco and tango, however an injury to her foot ended her dance career. Firefly was only on for the duration of one episode, but had a large fanbase. Whedon was so enthralled by the show that he decided to return to the show just a couple of years afterwards. Summer Glau however continued to perform with high-quality. Her appearances on TV shows were as diverse as Cold Case and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
