Young Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is a talented....actor?

Russell will make his acting debut on an upcoming episode of the CBS show 'Superior Donuts' that will air on Opening Day on April 9.

Here is a summary of the episode according to Entertainment Weekly.

Russell will stop by the donut shop to meet Arthur (Judd Hirsch), a Cubs superfan. Arthur’s trying to break the record for attending the most consecutive games on opening day, but he loses his connection for tickets so he’s left scrambling for the first time in 43 years.

In case you were wondering, Russell filmed the episode during the offseason before the start of spring training.

Here is a trailer for the show.
