Jason Matthew Biggs (born May 12, 1978) is an American actor who is best known for his role as Jim Levenstein in the American Pie trio of teen sex comedies.

Contents

Personal life

Biggs was born in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, the son of Angela, a nurse, and Gary Biggs, a shipping company manager.12 He grew up in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey and attended Hasbrouck Heights High School there.3 Biggs had success in athletics while in high school, both in tennis and in wrestling. He won a state title his senior year and advanced to the final rounds in a national tournament.

Biggs has discussed in interviews how he is often cast as an explicitly or implicitly Jewish character, as he was in American Pie (other examples include Darren Silverman or Jerry Falk), despite the fact that Biggs himself is Italian American and Roman Catholic.45

In January 2008, he became engaged to his My Best Friend's Girl co-star, actress Jenny Mollen; they married on April 23, 2008.6 He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Career

Biggs began acting at the age of five. In 1992, he made his television debut in the short lived Fox network series Drexell's Class. He also made a one-off HBO special, The Fotis Sevastakis Story, but due to licencing arguments, it was never aired. That same year, Biggs debuted on Broadway in Conversations with My Father, which helped pave the way for Biggs to participate in the daytime soap opera, As the World Turns. He was nominated for the award of Best Younger Actor at the daytime Emmy Awards for his role.

Biggs attended New York University briefly from 1996-1997, but soon afterwards, he returned to pursue his acting. And so he would be seen again in another short lived television series, 1997's Camp Stories. He then starred in American Pie, which went on to become an international hit that has spawned two sequels (also starring Biggs) and four spinoffs (that did not star Biggs). After that, Biggs accepted starring roles in movies such as Loser in 2000, and others. In 2004-2005 season Biggs portrayed an Orthodox Jew in Daniel Goldfarb's comedy, Modern Orthodox, staged at Dodger Stages theater in New York City. In 2006, Biggs was seen in the MTV reality show Blowin' Up with Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone which led to his participation in a hip-hop recording with Bay Area rapper E-40. Jason returned to the stage in the fall of 2008 in Howard Korder's Boys' Life at New York City's Second Stage Theatre.

Biggs appears in the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) as himself, in which he is referred to as "the guy who fucked the pie" (referring to his infamous scene in American Pie). He then goes into an angry rant about how he's tired of it being the only thing he is known for, despite numerous other films under his belt.

Filmography

He also appeared in the band Wheatus' music video, "Teenage Dirtbag" in 2000.
