Jason Biggs

Born: 12th May 1978
Where: Pompton Plains, New Jersey

The former child actor is now known as the face of Jim in the successful American Pie series.

Aged five, he appeared in several national TV adverts and then the early Broadway previews of Herb Gardner's award-winning Conversations With My Father.

Biggs then took a regular role as difficult student Willie Trancus for a season of Drexell's Class at age 13.

A recurring role on Total Security followed, but despite his healthy number of credits, the actor was still a virtual unknown when cast in American Pie.

He displayed solid comic timing with his 1999 breakthrough role in the teen summer comedy, portraying one of four friends desperate to lose their virginity before graduation.

After starring alongside funnymen Steve Zahn and Jack Black in Saving Silverman, Biggs reprised the role of Jim in American Pie 2 and American Pie: The Wedding.

Recent stage work so him star opposite Kathleen Turner and Alicia Silverstone in The Graduate on Broadway.

Upcoming projects include Woody Allen's romantic comedy Anything Else opposite Christina Ricci, who also co-stars with him in Prozac Nation.
