I've heard every pie joke in the book. I'm still waiting for an original one.
Like, yes, in that I like mountain biking and snowboarding, and those are kind of daredevil, but that's probably as extreme as I'll get.
I bought a mountain bike, and I started running. These are things I wanted to do in Jersey, but you know Jersey weather. So, the weight just came off.
This film is very heavy and intense at times, and I think in order to make it a well-rounded movie, you need someone to come in and deliver a little chuckle factor. To be able to come play and deliver was great fun, especially to do it in a completely new genre for me. You have to go to these funny places, but you can't overdo it.
I was nervous and hesitant about putting myself out there for the pie scene. But I went for it and the results were wonderful.
But then, I just decided to get off my lazy butt and take advantage of the L.A. weather.
They've been eating it up, and it's great,
But once I went for it, left my inhibitions aside and saw its eventual success, it made me much more comfortable and eager THIS time around to take it to a whole new level.
I'm just glad I got to work with the likes of Spielberg.
But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view, I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.
I love doing these scenes. I love that I'm the guy that went for it. I will do just about anything for the sake of a laugh, and I love that I got to take these big risks, and I love physical comedy, it's my favorite thing in the world to do.
You realize we're all going to go to college as virgins. They probably have special dorms for people like us.
Everywhere you turn, you see me in a movie, and I'm sorry. At this point, people must be saying, 'God, Biggs again? Can't we get away from this guy?'
In high school, I got picked on. It's funny that I got tormented for what I'm doing now - the acting thing. People would see me in a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day at school. Kids would say, 'Hi, TV Boy.' They heckled. I never got beat up.
