Her father is a general contractor and her mother is a schoolteacher. Education: Home schooled by her mother Mari from grades 3 to 12. She trained and performed as a ballerina dancer but also studied tango and flamenco. Notable features: Has a small round mole by her left eye brow Hobbies: Dancing, Cooking Charities/Causes: BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre in Vancouver (She helped raising money for by signing a Teddy Bear that was auctioned.) Actor bio: Summer Lyn Glau was born on July 24, 1981, in San Antonio, Texas. Her ancestors were German, Irish and Scottish. Throughout her teenage years she danced at the Majestic Theatre in shows like Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, The Happy Widow, Peer Gynt or Paint Your Wagon. She danced until a serious injury to a foot forced her to take time to heal. During this time, while visiting friends in Los Angeles she booked her first acting job. Shortly after, she made the decision to move to LA and began working steadily as an actor and dancer. Summer's first television series role was a guest spot on Joss Whedon's Angel in the now classic 2002 episode "Waiting in the Wings", in which she was able to demonstrate both her acting skills and her ballet training. Soon after, she was cast in Whedon's new series, Firefly, playing the role of the very traumatized River Tam. After the series cancellation she appeared in several famous series such as Cold Case, CSI, and The 4400. She also had a small part in the MGM feature Sleepover, in the role of a high school senior named Shelly. In 2005, Summer reprised her role of River Tam in Serenity, a Universal movie, in which she was given a more significant part. After 6 month of training and 3 month of fight-camp, she realised 90% of the stunts herself and won a Saturn Award (Best Supporting Actress) and an SFX Award (Best Actress). In 2006 Summer played two major roles in two very different movies. Vincent Ventresca's daughter Jack in the Sci-Fi comedy Mammoth and Mika Boreem's twin sister Lindsey in the ABC horror movie The Initiation of Sarah. Both roles earned her some fair critics in the press and were released on DVD in 2007. That same year she also appeared in three episodes of the third season of Coppola's The 4400, reprising her role of Tess Doerner already played in one of the 2nd season's episode in 2005. The part of Tess had been written especially for her after she had to step back from playing the part of Lily Moore because of conflicting schedules with the shooting of Serenity. Summer also got cast as Crystal Burns in the second season of CBS' military drama The Unit. She guest starred in six episodes throughout the season, co-staring with her real-life boyfriend, fellow Texan actor Daniel Wisler, who played her on-screen boyfriend on the show. In 2007 Summer came back as a guest for five episodes on The 4400. She also started working mid-year on a new highly secret project. In late 2007 and after much speculation, it was finally revealed that Summer was going to portray Cameron Phillips, a good Terminator in the upcoming film tie-in television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Most recently, Joss Whedon revealed to the press that he was currently working on the score of a ballet movie The Serving Girl and that Summer will be playing the lead character. | CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

I thought your performace as Cameron was phenomenal. You totally put the mystery/wonderment into her character.
Make me so want to see what happens to you character next season since they blew Cameron up. I hope they don't replace you because you always do a good job at what you do. No matter what critics may say. I'm also a avid fan of you character as River Tam. Your performaces in both the show and the movie are really moveing and emotional. But I don't want to overwhem you with my graditude or anything. Just keep up the good work and I look forward to next season. |

I don't really have anything that much to say about this.
I guess maybe this is just a self indulgent post telling you guys that I miss stargate sg1 but have vowed to never again watch primetime sci fi channel. Not really because of anything, just because of nothing. Nothing being the amount of interest I have. It is a real shame.... I really liked Eureka....
