ACTING & PRODUCING
I’m a character actor from Boston and I started in theater at the age of ten through the urging of my siblings.
After receiving years of informal training by both performing on stage and working behind the scenes, I attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in New York City and then subsequently returned to the Boston stage scene and eventually into film. In 1998, after initially being called in to audition for a minor supporting role in the independent, Boston-made feature film "Working Stiff", I ended up landing the lead role, receiving a Best Actor nomination at the Portland Festival of World Cinema in 2001, a Providence Journal review of the film by michael janusonis during the Rhode Island International Film Festival said, "Biggins has an Everyman sensibility that's charismatic."
I moved to Los Angeles in 1999 and by 2001 I had already booked my first co-star role on a new show called "Bull" and a supporting role in a feature film. I’ve continued to work in film, tV, internet and theater productions ever since. In 2014 I made my first foray into producing with the short film "Kindness of Strangers," directed by Aaron Garcia. I’ve directed a one-act play and intend to direct a film in the near future.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I’m an avid photographer and have had my work shown in L.a. galleries. I enjoyed taking photos as a kid, but my true passion for it developed while I was on vacation in the Pacific Northwest in 1992 with my mother’s borrowed point and shoot camera. When I got home, I bought my own 35mm camera and just kept shooting. I love traveling. I’m happiest when I’m out exploring nature with my camera or on set as an actor. I have to have creativity in my life.

The Salem, Massachusetts house from the 1993 film "Hocus Pocus" is my aunt and uncle's house.
The name of my production company, Witch Watch Films, is comprised of the nicknames of the towns in which my parents grew up. Salem, Mass, where my mother is from, is known as 'The Witch City' because of infamous Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s. Waltham, Mass, the town my father grew up in, and the town I was raised in, is known as 'The Watch City' because of The Waltham Watch Company, which made world-renowned watches for over 100 years from the mid-1800s until the mid-1900s.
