CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
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. One of her earliest audition was as a Pink Ranger of one of the Power Rangers series, and was a second choice. 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 six months of training and three months 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 second season's episodes 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 terminator allied to the human resistance, 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.

Thanks for the Memories (Summer's thank you note regarding TSCC and her participation; Source: www.summer-glau.net):
Dear Friends,
Here is my long overdue thank you note to anyone and every person who has watched our pride and joy Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles… Now that our season is done and I somehow feel far away, I want to say that it wouldn’t have been possible without faithful viewers; and it wouldn’t have been fun to make without such sincere interest from you…
I choose to post my note on Cristelle’s website so that I could also thank her for the beautiful work she has done, on my behalf, for this site. I come here to reminisce from time to time because she has posted so many of my best memories. Thank you Cristelle…
Anyway, I just want to say that acting for anyone who enjoys it is a privilege. Thank you all for helping make that possible. I am devastated that our show will not be back (Jameron forever!!!), but I can’t say that I’m ungrateful for the opportunity to be part of something so special. I’m really proud of what our team put together and eternally thankful to all of you for embracing what we were trying to do…
I love Josh very much and thank him. He pushed to make me part of this cast and created a series that was unique and beautiful. James Middleton held us together, staying with us everyday on set and talking us through every step… John Wirth and Jill Danton are all- stars that I pray I work with again….ALL of our writers. Toni, thank you for giving me Allison from Palmdale…
I was just going through my scripts this morning… (I thought it was time). I picked up- “Born To Run” written by Josh Friedman I’m going to miss that so much. I’m really sad…
You know I’m not good at posting things but this is my effort. I’m not very brilliant, witty or poetic like my mentors (you know who they are) but I love you, S
