If you ever watched American Pie, then you are probably a fan of an actor named Jason Biggs. He has also recently starred in the Orange Is the New Black series and was originally born in the great state of New Jersey. There are some things that most people don't know about him, but probably should.
It is hard to consider yourself a superfan of this actor without knowing a few key facts. These are some things that few people know about him and more of us should to better understand who he is as a person. Keep reading to learn ten facts you never knew about Jason Biggs!
10. He Took A Year Of Ballet When He Was Little
Jason has shared with the world that when he was little he took a year of ballet. He went on Ellen a few years back to show off some of his moves and we have to say that not much of what he learned stuck with him.
There was very little poise in his dance moves, and we wonder if his mother was the one who made him quit after one year due to the humiliation. We love him despite this hilarious flaw and we can't wait to see a film where his moves are front and center, like when they were showcased on American Pie.
9. Biggs Is Training For A Pilot's License
Biggs is apparently training for his pilot's license in his spare time. This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry as these famous people have the funds to pay for the expensive flight time. A few others with this license include Clint Eastwood, John Travolta, and Tom Cruise.
We assume he is going for his private pilot license, but as of yet, that part is unclear. We can't wait to see him in the skies as he learns what it takes to use a machine that gives us the ability to become airborne.
8. Jason Has 3 Dogs
Jason is the proud owner of three adorable dogs and Teets and Gina are the most famous. It is hard not to love this actor more knowing he cares for these animals in his home. It is obvious he loves them based on the number of posts and how often they take them out and about. Their one dog Gina enjoys strolls through the park in her very own stroller, so you know they are living their best doggy lives.
7. He Briefly Attended New York University
Biggs attended New York University for one year back in 1996, but he quickly realized it wasn't for him. It is unclear what he studied while in attendance, but we bet it had something to do with the creative arts.
It was probably best that he left because soon after he was cast in American Pie, among other roles, that pushed his career to the top. The ability to act was in his blood and going to college wasn't in his future anymore, and we doubt he will ever go back to finish up his degree.
6. Biggs Has Been Acting Since He Was 5-Years-Old
This actor's career started when he was just 5-years-old, and he stuck with it for a lifetime. He first made an appearance in a television show called Drexell's Class, and later starred in a few commercials.
He tried acting on a television show when he was 12-years-old, but the show never aired which put a damper on his work. He eventually went on to perform on Broadway instead and he moved on to bigger roles from there that jumpstarted his career.
5. Jason Used To Work At Subway
It is not uncommon for actors and actresses to hold other jobs before they become famous. Jason Biggs is no different as he was a sandwich artist at Subway. He worked this job while he was in college, but we doubt it paid as well as any of his future acting gigs.
We wonder if it made him a better sandwich maker at home, or if he hated entry-level jobs as much as the rest of us. It must have been great to be served a sandwich from this man as he worked to make a living wage while studying for exams.
4. He Has Acted In A Soap Opera
Biggs is one actor who gained recognition for his work in a soap opera. He starred in As The World Turns, and people loved him in the role. Biggs was even nominated for an Emmy for his performance for Best Younger Actor.
Unfortunately, he didn't win, as he lost to an actor from General Hospital, but it gave him the recognition he needed. He was cast in the American Pie film a few years later due to his name being heard after his stint on the daytime soap opera. We doubt he ever expected that to project his career to such heights.
3. His Net Worth Is $13 Million
This actor is worth a total of $13 million, which is a lot of cash for anyone to have in their possession in a single lifetime. It is no surprise as he has starred in 55 different television series and movies throughout his career.
He has even tried his hand at producing a few shows and movies like Mad Love, Happiness Isn't Everything, and American Reunion. His name has only grown to become more famous as the years have passed, especially since his most recent role in Orange Is the New Black.
2. He Is Married To Jenny Mollen
Jenny Mollen is this actor's wife and they have two children together. Their relationship is fairly relaxed and unconventional as he proposed to her with a pair of earrings, instead of an engagement ring. The pair even have tattoos of each other's name on their wrists a permanent sign of their love for one another.
What is even more interesting is that the pair met on a blind date, but Biggs knew instantly that she would be the one he would marry. There has been talk of them trying for another child, but we will just have to wait and see if the rumors are true.
1. Jason Is Responsible For Cooking And Cleaning
We have already mentioned how his relationship with his wife is unconventional, and the same applies to their household chores. Biggs has said that he does most of the cooking and cleaning around the house, including laundry.
Biggs attributes this to his compulsion to keep everything tidy and neat, which can be a problem when his wife is so messy. This relationship works for them as they have found a middle ground to their differences. Most might expect Jenny to do the work, but they have distributed chores amongst themselves in a way that they can handle.
