Tony Award winner Frank Wood will join the cast of August: Osage County on June 17 as Bill Fordham, the philandering husband who accompanies his wife, Barbara, back to the family home after the disappearance of her father. Wood replaces Jeff Perry, who originated the role in August's world premiere in Chicago last year and on Broadway. The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama continues its run at the Music Box Theatre, directed by Anna D. Shapiro.

His recent New York theater credits include the off-Broadway production of Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell and the original off-Broadway production of Spring Awakening as the Adult Men. His film credits include Dan in Real Life, Thirteen Days and Michael Clayton, as well as the forthcoming Changeling, The Taking of Pelham 123 and The Missing Person. On TV, Wood has appeared in Flight of the Conchords, Medium, The Sopranos and Law and Order.
