Bye Bye American Pie, hello Orange Is The New Black

Orange Is The New Black may allow Jason Biggs move beyond the teen comedy, says Ed Power.

ACTOR Jason Biggs flashes an inscrutable smile. “Am I trying to get away from being the American Pie guy? Come on ... I’ll always be the American Pie guy. I realised that a long time ago.”

The scatological 1998 comedy made Biggs, now 36, a household name, but also typecast him as a clown­prince of Hollywood raunch. He used to have a problem with that. Not any more.
