Bigg's character appeared in the show from its inception in 2013 where he was featured as the fiancé for the crime comedy-drama's female lead Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling). The character's screen time appearance ever since diminished when he broke off his engagement with the protagonist after having an affair with the latter's best friend.
The publication went on to add that the 36-year-old star will meanwhile be involved in the upcoming Broadway play "The Heidi Chronicles" alongside "Mad Men" alum Elisabeth Moss in the coming month.
Meanwhile, the most awaited third season installment of "Orange is the New Black" is expected to premiere in the online streaming service Netflix this coming June.
Among the returning stars aside from Schilling will be Laura Prepon as Alex Vause, Uzo Aduba as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren, Kate Mulgrew as "Red" Reznikov, as well as the Australian newcomer Ruby Rose who is reported to play the third point on the lesbian love affair between Piper and Alex.
