    Jason Biggs: My Biggest Regret Is Turning Down 'How I Met Your Mother'

    The ‘American Pie’ actor is still beating himself up over turning down the role in the CBS hit TV series that would have reunited him with co-star Alyson Hannigan.

    Feb 14, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jason Biggs will always regret turning down a big TV payday because he wasn’t ready to tackle a small screen project.
    The star reveals he was initially offered the lead role in comedy “How I Met Your Mother”, which would have reunited him and his “American Pie” co-star Alyson Hannigan, but he passed – allowing Josh Radnor to take on the role of Ted Mosby.
    The CBS series was a big hit and ran for nine seasons.
    “I was offered the role,” Biggs told SiriusXM’s “The Covino & Rich Show”. “It’s probably my biggest regret, you know, on passing. I think I was in a phase of, at the time – it sounds so obnoxious to say right now – but at the time it was like, ‘OK, do I want to do TV?’ ”

    “I don’t know that I was quite ready to go that route.”
    “Big picture, I have no regrets. I’m very lucky, very fortunate. I’m still here. That’s number one. But yeah, if I had to pick out something I wish I had done differently, I would’ve taken that gig for sure. Absolutely.”
    Asked if he ever spoke to Hannigan about turning down the role, Jason added, “We’ve never really talked about it. I don’t know that she knows, actually.”
    “How I Met Your Mother” also starred the likes of Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, and Cristin Milioti. It received 30 Emmy nominations and won ten.

      Jason Biggs Dreading the Day His Kids Finally Get to See His Racy Movie 'American Pie'

      The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actor is really not looking forward to the day when his young children are finally old enough to watch his raunchy comedy movie.

      Feb 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jason Biggs is dreading the day his young kids finally get to see dad making love to a pie in the raunchy film that helped make him famous.
      The “American Pie” actor became a household name when the comedy became a huge hit in 1999, but his kids Sid, six, and three-year-old Lazlo, are too young to see daddy’s most famous credit – and he’s glad he has a few years to prepare for that family film night.
      “Me watching American Pie with my kids is probably going to take on its own little weird thing,” the star told “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.

      “Sid has heard of American Pie because he’s been with me when people have come up to me and he’s heard about it. He’s asked if he can see it and we’ve told him, ‘No, it’s rated R and you know, I have sex with a pie’… No, I didn’t tell him that… He knows it’s rated R for bad words. That’s his take. He said, ‘R for bad words, not violence’, which is very cute.”
      “The pie might say it’s little violent,” Biggs added with a laugh. “The pie might have a different (view).”
      Jason Biggs shared screen with the likes of Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, and Eugene Levy in the Paul Weitz-directed movie. He returned for the three sequels “American Pie 2” (2001), “American Wedding” (2003), and “American Reunion” (2012).
      The franchise also spawned a series of direct-to-DVD spin-offs which starred a whole new cast.
