American Pie and Orange Is the New Black star Jason Biggs has teamed up with PETA US to star in a new anti-circus video campaign.

The video, which also stars Biggs' wife Jenny Mollen, features the actor being 'denied food, chained up on set overnight and shocked with an electric prod to remind him who's boss - all common circus practices'. PETA UK Director, Mimi Bekhechi, commented 'Jason Biggs' PETA US video reveals, the toughest TV production set doesn't hold a candle to the cruelty in a circus tent. Elephants and tigers stand on their hind legs or jump through rings of fire only because they know that they'll be beaten or whipped if they don't'.
