Just about the only good thing to result from that February snowstorm that postponed the Selected Shorts taping at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall is that it gives us a chance to catch up with Jim True-Frost here in April. Jim True-Frost will be among the actors at Sunday’s rescheduled show at 3 p.m. in Troy. WAMC is cosponsoring the show.

A veteran of stage and screen, True-Frost has appeared on Hostages, American Odyssey, Boardwalk Empire, Treme, The Hudsucker Proxy, and Singles, to name a few.  A member of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre, he has also appeared on Broadway in productions like August: Osage County, The Rivals, and the Grapes of Wrath.

True-Frost is perhaps best known for his five years as police officer-turned-math teacher Roland Pryzbylewski on HBO’s The Wire.
