Summer Glau has no depth to her acting but neither does Loken.

 

Huh, I have not seen Glau in anything other than Firefly/Serenity and TSCC. And in both of them she plays a very abnormal character that doesn't show much emotion, so even if she is able to act with great depth, we wouldn't know it. I think she does a great job at the two roles she has had, hopefully for her next role she'll try out something different. I guess she has had a few guest appearances on a few other things, but I haven't seen them.

She was in a few episodes of The Unit as well.

Anyone that thinks her acting has no depth isn't paying attention.  She played a disturbed psychic in FireFly/Serenity (and if you saw the movie, you'd know exactly why she was disturbed).  In TSCC, she plays a Terminator.  How much emotion are we expecting?  She's a machine and she seems to act like one to me.  She shows no emotion whatsoever (except that one episode), even when John's trying to explain something to her.  It's like if it doesn't result in something logical, she simply doesn't get it (makes sense for a machine).

In The Unit, she played someone's wife and I thought she did it very well.

Loken seems to always play some kind of sexed up character.  That's not acting, it's called modelling.
