Parting Shot: “I go through trials, tribulations and tomfoolery,” says Biggs, who continues his memorable humiliation schtick here. “As far as building up courage to go for it, the [hardest] would, of course, be the kiss. But as far as the more strenuous scene, that would be the Krazy Glue.” The kiss, by the way, is with Seann William Scott. The Krazy Glue, um, you’ll have to watch and find out for yourself. |

Although Jason’s very anti-social; he was actually shot on a green screen and was never there.” |

You see a little Eddie Kaye Thomas butt cheek.” Of his character, he says: “I think he’s on a different universe. It’s amazing that he can actually have conversations with these people.
