 TerminatorSite
Talks To... Summer Glau (Cameron)
Just in time for the premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor
Chronicles, several members of the show's cast as well as producer
James Middleton made their way to the Shrine Auditorium & Expo
for the Los Angeles Comic Book & Sci Fi Convention.
TerminatorSite's Craig Byrne was able to speak with those people
for interviews specially for this site. Expect them to be rolled
out one by one; a recap of the T:SCC panel itself will be
posted momentarily.
We're going to start off with some quotes from someone who is already
quite popular among fans of science fiction - Summer Glau, who
plays "Cameron" on the new series.
One thing we asked is if it is difficult to play a character that
is so emotionless and robotic in certain situations, including a
very tense action-packed sequence in the series' second episode.
"I am more comfortable with it over time, but it was very
hard to get used to," Summer reveals. "I would say [it
was] the little details you don't think about.. like crossing my
legs, or moving my hair out of my face. I had to really strip myself
of all of those human habits."
"It is very difficult when you're doing a scene with someone
who's very emotional, she continues. "I do a lot of scenes
with Lena [Headey], and she's a very passionate character. Very,
very human and emotional, and I, as an actress, can't give any back
to her. I just feel really guilty."
Summer Glau has very positive things to say about her fellow actors,
Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker. "They make me laugh," Summer
jokes, before being interrupted by Thomas signing a poster. "We
work really long hours, and it's a very small cast. And if you look
around at the casts of TV right now, they're all ensemble, and here
we are making this really, really big action series where we're
working a lot of hours, and it's just three people to really spread
the workload around. So, being with people who make me laugh, and
feel really close to and supported by, it's a blessing."
Thanks go out to Summer Glau for taking the time to speak with
TerminatorSite. Stay tuned to read some comments from Thomas Dekker
(John Connor), Richard T. Jones (James Ellison), and consulting
producer James Middleton within the next 24 hours!
