Jason Biggs might be more familiar to audiences now as Larry from Orange Is The New Black , but before that, he was most well known for playing hapless Jim in the American Pie franchise.
In a recent interview, Jason has discussed a particular scene in the original ‘American Pie’ film.
The scene in question involved using a girl’s webcam on her computer to watch her without her knowledge, and then eventually accidentally streaming a sexual encounter with her to the entire school.

“It was a very specific time. It was right as the internet was starting,” Jason said.
“We had that whole scene with the internet camera — which, by the way, would never get made now,” he continued .
“It wouldn’t get made now and it couldn’t get made now.”
“It would be unacceptable what that represents, but at the time I remember reading the script and reading that part and being shocked that there was cameras on computers! That’s what I took away from it originally!”
Shannon Elizabeth, the actress who played the girl in the scene, has made a similar comment.
“If this had come out after the #MeToo movement, there would definitely be a problem. I think that it would have gone down differently,” she said .
What do you think? Would the scene be in bad taste now, or are people just more sensitive? Let us know in the comments!
