Summer Glau Net Worth $4 million

Summer Glau was raised in San Antonio; her father was a general contractor, and her mother was a school teacher. As a young child, she was an aspiring professional ballet dancer, and received a scholarship to a ballet company; she was home schooled up to grade 12 to keep up with her training schedules. However, a broken toe ended her professional dancing dreams, and she turned to acting instead, flying to Los Angeles to audition for acting roles. One of her earlier auditions was actually for the role of a Power Ranger in “Power Rangers Wild Force”.

Interestingly enough, Summer’s first on-screen role was acting as a ballet dancer for an episode in the 2002 hit TV series “Angel”. Apparently, her acting skills even as a beginner impressed director/producer Joss Whedon so much that she was cast in Whedon’s new sci-fi TV series “Firefly”. This was where Summer started to establish her net worth – “Firefly” only ran for 14 episodes, but continued into the movie “Serenity” because of a strong push from its fan base, so Summer was becoming an increasingly recognizable face in Hollywood, and she was soon cast in other projects.

Although “Firefly” and “Serenity” were her two most popular roles, Summer’s net worth can also be credited to other sources. She is a voice actress – she provided the voice for Supergirl in the animated cartoon “Superman/ Batman: Apocalypse”, and has acted in numerous recurring roles in TV series such as “Cold Case”, “CSI”, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”, “The Cape”, “Arrow”, “The Big Bang Theory” and “Castle”, in total over 30 TV and film titles. Currently, Summer is on a break from the entertainment industry, and does not have any projects publicly lined up for 2017.

In her personal life, Summer is married to actor Val Morrison, and their daughter, Milena, was born in 2015. Summer is involved in numerous charities and causes. One is the B.C. Women’s Hospital and Health Center, where she and other celebrities signed bears which were put up for a charity auction. She is also a passionate animal lover and has been involved with charity efforts for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She likes being active and takes part in martial arts such as Kung Fu and Kickboxing. She also dances in her spare time, not just ballet but also Tango and Flamenco.
