Jason Biggs
But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view, I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.Collection: Humor
Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.Collection: Moving
A girl came up to me in a bar and said she wanted to be my apple pie. I wish I'd said something cool, but I was stunned.Collection: Cool
But then, I just decided to get off my lazy butt and take advantage of the L.A. weather.
Something about being projected on a 70 foot screen makes you more attractive and appealing to the opposite sex, which is pretty scary.
I was nervous and hesitant about putting myself out there for the pie scene. But I went for it and the results were wonderful.
We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think this works as well.
I love playing Jim. I love working with this cast and the opportunity to come back and work with them again was just way too appealing for me. Also, I think this is a great way to wrap up the franchise.
We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism.
Physical comedy is my favorite thing in the world to do.
But once I went for it, left my inhibitions aside and saw its eventual success, it made me much more comfortable and eager THIS time around to take it to a whole new level.
Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.
I like to think what I bring to the table is kind of a sympathetic and endearing quality, even while I'm playing outcasts or characters that end up in outlandish situations.
In order for American Pie to have worked, you have to have a character who, even while he is humping a pie, the audience still likes.
People would see me on a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day in school.
My position now, especially in this town, adds an element of skepticism with people you meet - especially girls. I mean, it becomes a lot more difficult.
I've heard every pie joke in the book. I'm still waiting for an original one.
Well, I'm never happier than when I'm acting.
But I did have two months off between Loser and the start of Prozac Nation. So, it was supposed to be Jason time, right? My time to enjoy myself away from movies.
Basically, what happened was, I had moved out to Los Angeles, I was pretty damn lazy and I put on some pounds.
Stuff with a group, stuff where there are other people around, I'll try that.
I don't know if you'll see me jumping out of planes anytime soon.
I'm just glad I got to work with the likes of Spielberg.
Getting married has shifted my focus, in such a profound way. You just realize, "Oh, I can't be so selfish anymore. There's someone else."Collection: Selfish
I'm married. I'm not attracted to any other woman, ever.Collection: Married
You realize we're all going to go to college as virgins. They probably have special dorms for people like us.Collection: College
There's obviously some appeal in scenes for me - there's something I respond to. I keep doing those films where I put myself out there like that. I guess I look for those kinds of moments and I pride myself on being an actor who will do just about anything for a laugh - so long as it's within context of the scene in the movie and it's not gratuitous. I have to feel it'll make people laugh.Collection: Pride
I'd like to do more dramatic roles but I would never give up comedy to do it. I've seen a lot of actors that do a complete 180 degrees and say: "I'm done with comedy, I want to be taken seriously." I take my comedy very seriously and I want to be taken seriously because of my comedy. I think it's more fun for me. I enjoy laughing and attempting to make people laugh. So I'd like to do more drama but I'd never do the 180 thing.Collection: Giving Up
I'd like to get more involved in that world. I'm better when I'm teamed up with an experienced writer - when I potentially have someone guiding me. But I'm getting involved and I'm learning a lot.Collection: World
I'm a big fan of shock value humour and I find myself being most comfortable when I make other people uncomfortable. Is that sick of me? I really like it.Collection: People
Michael Ian Black wears many hats. He's a stand-up comedian, a comedic actor, he's now a writer-director so he knew how to work with all of us. And furthermore, because so much of his career is based on improvisation he gave us the freedom to do that as well.Collection: Black
I think there's a lack of really, really good funny scripts out there that work on all the levels that they're supposed to - which is to say that they're not just funny but they have interesting characters that people are going to like and be invested in. I've done a bunch of movies that haven't worked but I like to think I've done some that have worked and that's because not only is the comedy there but the characters and storylines are interesting. The characters are real and relateable and people were invested in them.Collection: Real
I've always felt most comfortable in the hopeless romantic, underdog kind of roles who always gets the girl in the end. I don't know what that says about me but for some reason it's a natural fit.Collection: Girl
The truth is that, after 30 years old, men still masturbate. There are still sexual problems that arise for guys.Collection: Men
What I've learned from fatherhood is that having a son cannot, did not, change my love for The Bachelor! I thought that having a son would make me grow up when it came to my TV viewing habits, but I love The Bachelor even more after having a child.Collection: Growing Up

Everywhere you turn, you see me in a movie, and I'm sorry. At this point, people must be saying, 'God, Biggs again? Can't we get away from this guy?'Collection: Sorry
In high school, I got picked on. It's funny that I got tormented for what I'm doing now - the acting thing. People would see me in a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day at school. Kids would say, 'Hi, TV Boy.' They heckled. I never got beat up.Collection: School
Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?Collection: Miles
