Summer glau

It's likely that she had an impact as she converted that single episode into the lead role in Whedon's upcoming hit TV series, Firefly. The character of Summer Glau's River Tam was a complicated persona that Glau managed with ease. Tam's character, Summer Glau was forced to sit for government exams to help her prepare to play the perfect assassin. Tam's control over her emotions was weakened as a direct result. Glau was able to display her combat capabilities as well as her acting skills on Firefly. The training she received as an assassin gave her the opportunity to use the full range of athletic skills she has. Summer Glau's classical training makes her a highly accomplished ballerina. She has also studied flamenco and tango, however an injury to her foot put an end to her dancing career. Firefly featured only one episode but it became a massive success. Whedon returned to it many years later. Summer Glau kept on getting her fair share of work. She was seen on TV programs like Cold Case and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
