Jason Biggs began acting at the age of five. In 1991, he made his television
debut in the short lived Fox network series Drexell's Class. In 1991 also,
Biggs debuted on Broadway. The play in which he worked, Conversations With
my Father, 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 in that soap.
Biggs attended New York University briefly from 1996 to 1997, but soon
afterwards, he returned to pursue his true, professional love of acting. And
so he would be seen again in another short lived television series, 1997's
Camp Stories.
Biggs did not do any other significant jobs until 1999's American Pie, which
went on to become an international hit that has spanned two sequels. After
that, Biggs has accepted starring roles in movies such as 2000's Loser and
others.
Biggs has joked in interviews about the fact that 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) because of his features,
although he is of Italian Catholic descent. In 2004/05 season Biggs
portrayed an Orthodox Jew in Daniel Goldfarb's comedy "Modern Orthodox"
Playbill staged at Dodger Stages theater in New York. |
