I have a wireless network using an Apple AirPort Extreme. That device is set up in my office and hooked up to the cable modem. I have a TV in another room which can accept a wired internet connection (not wireless enabled).
Can I use an Apple AirPort Express's ethernet jack to create a wireless-to-wired bridge? If not, what device would I use to do the same thing?

Recent versions indeed support it, but early versions might not. For the March 2008 802.11n version Macworld writes (emphasis mine):
Earlier versions seem to support this kind of bridging as well, but your mileage may vary when not using an Apple base station (so, I don't expect problems for your situation). According to Apple's AirPort Express frequently asked questions:
Given my problems with a modern but non-Apple base station and an older AirPort Express, I assume a wireless-to-wired bridge needs Apple's WDS capabilities (and hence when reading question 2, I assume one should take question 1 into account as well).
