In the 1999 movie comedy American Pie, Jason Biggs played a teenager desperate to lose his virginity who was caught in a compromising position by his concerned father.

Now, in the new US sitcom Outmatched, the tables are turned as Biggs plays Mike, a workingclass dad with four kids of his own.

But rather than worrying about them getting into trouble, Mike and his wife Kay (Maggie Lawson) are concerned that three of their offspring, who are geniuses, will struggle to live normal lives because they don’t fit in.
