Jill Clayburgh also joins drama pilot

Following his stint on "Commander in Chief" last season, Donald Sutherland is set to return to ABC in the pilot "Dirty Sexy Money."

Jill Clayburgh has also joined the show, the showbiz trade papers report.

"Dirty Sexy Money," about a wealthy New York family and their overworked attorney (Peter Krause), is assembling a pretty high-wattage cast. In addition to Krause, Sutherland and Clayburgh, the pilot will also feature William Baldwin, Samaire Armstrong and Natalie Zea. Sutherland and Clayburgh will play the heads of the family.

Sutherland played Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton on "Commander in Chief" last season; he also earned an Emmy nomination last year for his role in the Lifetime movie "Human Trafficking." Among his many other credits are "MASH," "Ordinary People," "Six Degrees of Separation" and "The Italian Job."

A two-time Oscar nominee (for "An Unmarried Woman" and "Starting Over"), Clayburgh was nominated for a guest-acting Emmy in 2005 for "Nip/Tuck." She's also appeared in "Ally McBeal" and "Running with Scissors."
