River Tam (Summer Glau)
River possesses powers that are a threat not only to the forces pursuing her but also to the Serenity crew, who have given her sanctuary.
Before being rescued by her brother, Dr. Simon Tam, she spent years enduring experiments in an Alliance lab, and the experience has left her forever altered. She is certainly a genius of sorts, but one who is tortured by her own intellect.
Most notably, she is borderline psychic and can read most minds. Because of this, she has an incredible comprehension of knowledge and data, but it can lead to unpredictable and chaotic behavior.
In addition to her heightened mental abilities, she is also preternaturally dexterous and highly skilled in martial arts and weapons combat. However, these gifts appear infrequently; most of the time she swings between catatonia and manic, gibbering fits.
SUMMER GLAU as River Tam
A prima ballerina born and trained in San Antonio, Texas, Summer Glau made her television debut as the ballerina in the Angel episode "Waiting in the Wings". After that first role, she honed her acting skills with appearances in several commercials before tackling the role of River Tam on Firefly.
Her other TV credits include a recurring role, as Tess Doerner, on USA Network's hit series The 4400, as well as guest appearances on such series as C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation and Cold Case. She will also reprise her Firefly role as River Tam in the upcoming feature film Serenity.
