Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss has been tapped to star opposite Jason Biggs in "Happiness Isn't Everything," Mitch Hurwitz's comedy pilot for CBS.

"Happiness," from Sony TV and CBS Paramount, revolves around adult siblings and their parents who are overinvolved in each other's lives.

Dreyfuss will play the pushy, loving and funny patriarch of the family, with Biggs playing his son.

Also cast in the pilot is Ben Schwartz as Biggs' explosive older brother.

Dreyfuss, who recently portrayed Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's biopic "W," will next show his lighter side by starring opposite Nia Vardalos in the romantic comedy "My Life in Ruins."
