"Dancing With the Stars" runner-up Gilles Marini is waltzing across the ABC schedule to "Brothers and Sisters."

In his first major gig since making it to the finals of "Dancing" (in which he came in second to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson), Marini has signed a multi-episode arc on "Brothers and Sisters" to star as a potential love interest to Sarah Walker (played by Rachel Griffiths).

Marini was previously set to appear in next season's "Nip/Tuck" for FX.

Marini's credits include the feature "Sex and the City."
