" Summer Glau has revealed that she will play a physical role on NBC&amp;#039;s upcoming drama The Cape. The actress told IGN that her character Orwell will face-off against Vince Faraday (David Lyons) in the series premiere. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s willing to throw down,&amp;quot; Glau explained. &amp;quot;This girl has been on her own since she was 12, so she&amp;#039;s incredibly resourceful and she&amp;#039;s not afraid of anything. She just makes her own rules.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;If you watch the next episode, you&amp;#039;ll see more and more that she gets out of the lair and onto the scene.&amp;quot; The former Firefly star also confirmed that she had visited &amp;#039;circus school&amp;#039; to prepare her for a story arc in which Orwell goes undercover at a carnival. &amp;quot;I was only able to go twice,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I thought I was going to hate it [but I had] the time of my life. It was really fun!&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;There are things that Orwell may have done in her life before [the show] and it&amp;#039;s coming out very slowly, because we&amp;#039;re on a mission and it&amp;#039;s always do-or-die time. So that [carnival] scene was a moment of reflection that I thought was really beautiful.&amp;quot; The Cape will launch with a two-hour premiere on January 9. The first episode will be repeated in the show&amp;#039;s regular timeslot at 9/8c the following Monday. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
