Summer Glau and Garret Dillahunt: Talking Terminator

In person, Summer Glau looks petite and delicate. Indeed, she looks petite and delicate onscreen – until her cyborg character begins kicking major butt in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Garret Dillahunt, who plays the cyborg known as Cromartie, tasked with terminating John Connor, is a bit taller and broader, but still doesn’t appear capable of the havoc wreaked by his character. Both actors are happy to talk about Terminator’s second season, which has just begun airing on Fox. Words: Abbie Bernstein

...Were either of you worried that your character might shapeshift into another actor, as Terminators sometimes do?
Garret Dillahunt: [laughs] I guess I’m not really worried – I’m prepared. Obviously, no one is safe. We’re doing a lot of fun stuff this year that flashes back to the actor’s face he stole, stuff like that, which is going to be a lot of fun and I think we’re going to try to cross-pollinate with webisodes.


Summer, on Firefly your character River’s relationships with people around her changed through the course of the series. It seems it’s a little more difficult for the cyborg Cameron to have relationships that change. Or do you think there are changes that are just more subtle?
Summer Glau: I can tell you, relationships do change in the second season. I can’t say how, but everything is changing. She’s growing quite a bit, it’s very surprising. There have been hints of what’s going to happen to her - nothing is going to be the same. I think it was a triangle the first season. It’s a power struggle between Sarah [Lena Headey] and I in trying to influence John. I think that it’s always a triangle, and now that Riley [Leven Rambin as John’s potential love interest] has come on the scene, Cameron is definitely [displeased].


Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is currently airing on Fox.
