"I like to think what I bring to the table is kind of a sympathetic and endearing quality, even while I'm playing outcasts or characters that end up in outlandish situations"
About this Quote
The intent here isn’t bragging about range so much as branding a persona. Biggs positions himself as an emotional stabilizer inside heightened comedy: the actor who can take a script built on escalation and still make viewers care whether the guy survives the embarrassment. "Outcasts" also hints at a specific cultural mood: the era when mainstream comedy sold itself as "relatable" by centering insecure, awkward men and turning their anxiety into spectacle. Biggs’ subtext is that he knows the moral math of that formula. If the character reads as contemptible, the audience laughs at him. If he reads as tender, the audience laughs with him - and forgives the plot’s absurdities.
There’s also a canny acknowledgement of limits. He’s not claiming to be a chameleon; he’s claiming to be a tone-setter. In an industry that often rewards bigger, louder comedic swings, Biggs argues for something subtler: likability as craft, not accident.
