Start saying your goodbyes to Larry Bloom because Jason Biggs just announced that his character won't be returning for Season 3 of "Orange Is The New Black." The 36-year-old actor told the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l that Piper's (Taylor Schilling) ex-fiance will be sitting this season out but hinted that there's always a chance producers could bring him back.
"They're not focusing on Larry at the moment," Biggs said. "Larry will not be in season three. But there's always a possibility he can come back."
Confidenti@l reports that Biggs will be heading over to Broadway for "The Heidi Chronicles" beginning next week.
In related news, Lorraine Toussaint teased that her character, Queen Vee, might not be dead even though she was run over by a car. Back in October, TMZ reported that her villainous character could make an appearance on Season 3.
In the Season 2 finale, Rosa (Barbara Rosenblat) ran Vee over but fans never actually saw her die. At the time, sources told the site that the actress was expected to return to NYC to film scenes for the upcoming season.
However, the source didn't reveal whether those scenes involved a flashback or Toussaint's character revealing she's alive.
During an interview with The Daily Beast, Toussaint also teased about Vee's fate hinting that fans could see the character around Litchfield again.
"Is Vee dead? Is she not? Is Vee dead? She's a survivor. You never know. It's Jenji Kohan, so you never know," she said.
Toussaint also talked about how it was to play the villain and why fans loved her character so much.
"She has a desire to be a lot of things. One of the qualities of a sociopath is that they are very good mimics," Toussaint said. "They are really good emotional mimics, and sometimes it's very difficult to tell what's actually part of their wiring with a certain level of emotional mimicry. That was why I had to walk with her, because one of the things that is so complicated is that she can believe her acting so well at times that it doesn't feel like acting. So is it not acting, or is it acting? As a character. And then I'm acting a character who's always acting!"
