Stars line up for 'Brothers & Sisters'

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Hollywood actors Ken Olin, Danny Glover and Steven Weber will be guest stars in an upcoming episode of the U.S. TV drama "Brothers & Sisters."

The actors will join series regulars Sally Field, Rob Lowe, Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths in an episode of the hit show slated to air Jan. 13 on ABC, the network has announced.

The installment will also be available on ABC.com the day after airing on the network for users to watch online.

Fans are also invited to check out the new weekly video blog "Brothers & Sisters: Writers Room" on ABC.com, which offers online viewers an exclusive look inside the series from the show's writers, the network said.

The Writers Guild of America has been on strike against Hollywood's TV networks and film studios since Nov. 5. Since then, most scripted U.S. series have shut down production.

One of the key issues in the strike is compensation for work distributed on the Internet and other new media.
