Flockhart and Griffiths join ABC drama

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- "Ally McBeal's" Calista Flockhart and "Six Feet Under's" Rachel Griffiths are joining the cast of ABC's family drama, "Brothers & Sisters."

The series follows a group of adult siblings charged with running the family business after their father dies.

The ensemble cast also includes "Alias" regulars Balthazar Getty and Ron Rifkin and "Reunion's" Dave Annable, Zap2it.com reported Friday.

Flockhart's only credits since "Ally McBeal" ended in 2002 were the 2004 film "The Last Shot" and "Fragile," which is expected to hit theaters later this year.

Griffiths' credits include her Oscar-nominated performance in "Hilary and Jackie," "The Rookie" and "Muriel's Wedding."
