Amy Acker and Summer Glau in different roles?

Absolutely no difference whatsoever. Especially in SF movies the characters are abstractions and any actor/actress of good quality will depict the role equally well. A particulary fine actor/actress can sometimes increase the appeal of a very strong character some, but this hardly ever follows them into other roles.

I wouldn't say there'd be no difference. At the very least, the character of River would be somewhat different, since - /me consults the IMDB. Wait, Amy Acker does have 13 years of ballet and dance training. ::cough:: The larger point stands, though. Acker's River wouldn't be Glau's.

The lazy part of me says "He'd make River more like early Fred." The non-lazy part of me is on break at the moment. Maybe River would be like Luna Lovegood passed through a Whedon filter?

As for Summer Glau's Fred, I haven't a clue. I was about to point out how she was so young in 2001 when Fred joined the show, which would make Fred's relationships with Gunn and Wes different, only to find out she was born in 1981. So, um... I got nothin'.
