The play in which he worked, Conversations With my Father, helped pave the way for Biggs to participate in the daytime soap opera, As the World Turns.

Biggs has joked in interviews about the fact that he is often cast as an explicitly or implicitly Jewish character, as he was in American Pie (other examples include Darren Silverman or Jerry Falk) because of his features, although he is of Italian Catholic descent. In 2004/05 season Biggs portrayed an Orthodox Jew in Daniel Goldfarb's comedy "Modern Orthodox" Playbill staged at Dodger Stages theater in New York.
