Thanks. I moved the resizing of the frame in a method in the custom cell class instead of in the TVC's cellForRowAtIndexPath.
What is strange is that I call it from the TVC's cellForRowAtIndexPath and it works just fine, but didn't do anything when in the TVC's cellForRowAtIndexPath. Not exactly comforting, but it works and I don't need to resort to a UITextView. Thanks again.
