However, when Kennedy and Stone had a minor feud, Stone befriended Biggs, leading Stone to record a hip-hop diss record against Kennedy entitled "Fuck Jamie Kennedy".

Jason Biggs Interview (690 words)
At 23, Jason Biggs is one of Hollywood's 'biggest' discoveries.
Now, Jason is bouncing back in the inevitably successful Pie follow up, although shooting a sequel was never something that was ever going to be guaranteed from the outset, insists the actor.
Biggs is happy that Jim, like many of the characters, manages to grow up by the end, "and thematically that's what the movie centers around", as does Jim's relationship with Alyson Hannigan's Michelle.
