Jason Biggs played Piper Chapman’s fiancé, Larry Bloom, in season 1 of Orange Is the New Black. Larry is introduced as Piper’s supportive but anxious partner while she prepares to serve a prison sentence.
The series begins with Piper entering Litchfield Penitentiary for her role in transporting drug money years earlier. Her incarceration immediately strains her relationship with Larry, who remains outside and tries to manage work, family pressure, and the uncertainty of having a fiancée in prison. Their relationship becomes one of the show’s central storylines during the first season.
Biggs was already widely recognized for playing Jim Levenstein in the American Pie films, but Orange Is the New Black gave him a more dramatic and complicated television role. Larry is not an inmate; he is Piper’s fiancé and later writes about the experience of having a partner imprisoned. A common mix-up is confusing Larry with Alex Vause, Piper’s former girlfriend, who is played by Laura Prepon. The actor connected to Larry Bloom is Jason Biggs.
