If things had gone just a little bit differently for Jason Biggs he could have done down as being famous for exactly one thing -- having sex with a pie in the first "American Pie" movie.

Fortunately for the actor, he rebounded from a series of poor film choices and vaguely depressing "Pie" sequels to a well-received part on the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black." That role reminded people that Biggs could act and that he was more than just an ensemble player in raunchy comedies.

Now, Biggs will continue his unlikely march toward being taken seriously as he heads to Broadway to star alongside Elisabeth Moss in the Tony-and Pulitzer Prize-winning play "The Heidi Chronicles" by Wendy Wasserstein. The new version of Wasserstein's 1988 play will be directed by Pam MacKinnon, who won a 2013 Tony Award.

No venue has been announced for the production.

The original production starred Joan Allen and won the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play for the late Wasserstein, who died in 2006 from lymphoma, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"Jamie Lee Curtis later starred in a 1995 TV movie of the play but this production will mark the first revival of any of Wasserstein's work, which also includes 'The Sisters Rosensweig, to return to the Great White Way," the entertainment magazine reported.

Biggs made news for a different reason earlier this year when during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" to promote his wife's book he told the story about her efforts to hire a prostitute for him.
