Jason Biggs – Not Jewish
Jason Biggs was born in Pompton Plains, NJ, to Angela (née Zocco) and Gary Louis Biggs. He was raised Catholic and is of English and Italian descent. Although Biggs is not Jewish, he is often mistaken as such and has played many Jewish roles. He played Jim Levenstein in the American Pie franchise and Larry Bloom in the Netflix show Orange Is the New Black. Biggs jokingly told Page Six that he fears if people realize he’s not Jewish, he won’t get hired anymore.
