"If anybody thinks [bringing Summer onto Dollhouse] hasn't occurred to me already then they have not met me," he says. "I mentioned it to her before [SCC] was canceled. I was like, 'You know, we should get you in the 'house.' But first we have to come up with something that works." And casting her as a doll would not work, insists Whedon. "Summer would be perfect to play an active, but she's done that [type of role] a lot," he says. "I'd rather see her play someone who talks too much. The most fun I have is when I get somebody who's good and comfortable at doing something, and then I make them do something else. Summer said to me, 'I would like to play a normal girl before I die of extreme old age.'"
We'll be sure to keep you posted on any further updates on Summer Glau joining the cast of Dollhouse as soon as we have more information.

Bitter sweet. She'll do fine on Dollhouse, but I hate Chronicles was cancelled. I thought it was a really good show. Unfortunately, it was a serial, and serials need stable time-slots and consistent week to week flow, which Fox was never able to give the show primarily because of American Idol. American Idol is Fox's best friend and worst enemy because it gives Fox unbelievable ratings but at the same time it has killed many of Fox's upcoming shows by forcing them to bounce around on the schedule and/or go on ridiculously long hiatuses. I have a feeling Dollhouse will eventually succ*mb to the same fate.

Do you hear that? That's the fanboy collective hyperventilating! Casting against type is a great way to go with her, just make sure it's a long story arc.
And err you're right, Jeffery Combs would be great on this show too. He was great on "The 4400" and "Enterprise".

We'll see, but it's a good idea for her not to be always "kicking-someone-else's ass" girl.
