Summer glau

Her popularity is because she had starred in Whedon's subsequent TV series, Firefly. Summer Glau's character, River Tam, was a complex character that Glau did her best to manage. The character of Tam was compelled to take part in government experiments that required her to become an assassin. As a result, the capacity of Tam to regulate her mood was stripped from her. In Firefly Glau was able to show off not only her acting abilities but also her fighting skills. Glau was able to fully exploit her athletic skills because she was training to become an assassin. Summer Glau was classically-trained as a ballerina. Her broken toe marked the last straw in her life as an actress. Firefly featured only one episode but it became a massive success. Whedon came back to it many years later. Summer Glau was still getting good work during the time. She was seen on TV shows such as Cold Case and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
