Jason Biggs Joins 'Jersey Girl' Cast

[Tuesday, August 27th, 2002]
Jason Biggs has been added to the cast of Miramax Films' "Jersey Girl" for filmmaker Kevin Smith, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The project reunites Smith with Biggs, who appeared in Smith's most recent feature, "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."

Biggs, who since April has been starring on Broadway with Kathleen Turner and Alicia Silverstone in "The Graduate," will shoot "Jersey" by day on location and travel back to New York to perform onstage at night, with an understudy taking over his role for about five performances because of scheduling conflicts. It marks the second time Biggs has negotiated time away from the play, the first being from June through this month to shoot the Woody Allen feature "Anything Else" alongside Christina Ricci, Jimmy Fallon, Glenn Close and Danny DeVito.

The project begins shooting this week in Philadelphia and New Jersey.
