Winter’s not even half over yet Grey’s Anatomy already has Summer on the brain.

Summer Glau, that is.

The actress — whose cult fave-packed resume (Firefly, Dollhouse, Sarah Connor Chronicles) has made her goddess of fanboys everywhere — will guest star in an upcoming episode of Grey’s, series creator Shonda Rhimes announced on Twitter late Monday.

    • Precisely, not everyone can play that sort of roles and Summer Glau is very good at that.

  • Summer Glau is indeed more used to play the damaged super-powered barely or not at all human characters who can be considered as generally good guys. But she also played in Lifetime movie “Deadly Honeymoon”, where she was a complete bitch and is the completely opposite of Summers other characters and herself.

    But the unnerving part is that she played her just as fantastically as her other characters, like if she’s always done this through her entire career. Its an amazing feat and I have no doubt that it doesn’t really matter what she plays, as long as she is willing to play a role she will always be fantastic in it. Because she is a fantastic actress who is doing art, not just somebody who is in for the fame despite having no talents at all.

  • Should that sentence read ‘details about Summer Glau’s role are NOT forthcoming. As it stands right now, its just a big tease.

  • Well…i don’t know how’s this any good cause every time she goes on a show, the show gets cancelled!!!….(Firefly, Dollhouse, TSCC, Chuck)

    Comment by Chris11 – January 23, 2012 04:30 PM PST  Reply To This Post

    • Chuck isn’t getting cancelled. It’s getting a proper finish. Also, Dollhouse was already cancelled before she signed on. And you conveniently left out The Unit, which went on for a few seasons after she had her stint on the show. Also The 4400, that one went for a few seasons too. Not to mention Cold Case, that one went for a lot of additional seasons after her ep.
      Oh how I wish people would stop with this BS. *Every* actor has cancelled shows on their resume.

    • I agree. I thought about exactly the same thing ;) .
      Please Summer, no! I like Grey’s Anatomy!

    • ha, ha, it seems you’re not reading tvline carefully enough because Summer Glau recently guest satrred in Alphas on syfy and it get renewed for a second season.

      Or you’re just a sheep repeating bad jokes he has heard on the net.

      • Even the most notorious showkillers get lucky sometimes.

    • Steven, you posted word for word the same comment in another tv website.

      Don’t you have better things to do than trolling this comment section with your stupid and offensive comments?

    BTW have they cancelled the selling of 5-GUM already?! ;-)

  • Great to see her expanding, so the real question is,

    Summer- y u no on Castle?!?!?! There are so many great references that could be made….

    Comment by Kate – January 24, 2012 12:12 PM PST  Reply To This Post

  • I am not completely over the TSCC Season 3 cancellation yet. I still can’t believe they cancelled right after John met Allison and Kyle in the future. Now I’m stuck reading fan fictions. Great.
