    why is his last name Biggs? Biggs is and English last name. Wouldn’t he have an Italian last name?

    I wouldn’t necessarily assume that his father is of English descent. Father’s family may well have changed their name from something Italian to “Biggs”.

    Youre right Deer, thanks for the comment. I agree with you, Id assume his family changed their name to an English one. Its not unusual for Italian American families to have done that in the past.

    Jason Biggs is cool guy. I’ve met him @ Ivar club in Hollywood…few years ago. He was not rude at all. Some actors r sooo cruel. Jason was smooth to be around with.

    thats surprising to hear especially as you met him in a club. People’s egos tend to inflate in that kind of setting.

    I am surprised he is Italian, I thought he was Jewish too, mostly because of the last name and the fact that he always plays Jewish characters.

    This guy isn’t Jewish…whoa! He looks Jewish and always plays Jewish characters (American Pie, Saving Silverman, etc.) He does not look Italian. Maybe he is half. He looks Jewish or Irish.
