Giuseppe Andrews (born April 25, 1979) is an American actor/writer/director known for his roles as Lex in the 1999 film Detroit Rock City and as a bizarre sheriff in Cabin Fever, small role in Never Been Kissed, as well as appearances in the Smashing Pumpkins videos "1979" and "Perfect". However, he has also written, directed, scored, edited, shot and produced a number of avante-garde films.
Andrews was born Joey Andrews in Key Largo, Florida. His cinéma vérité-meets-exploitation filmmaking style has been compared to that of John Waters and Harmony Korine. He grew up in trailer parks, which feature prominently, along with their inhabitants, in many of his films. He also spent time living in a van with his father before they were both cast in an infomercial, which led to further acting jobs for Giuseppe.
Director Adam Rifkin: "Giuseppe Andrews is the most ferociously original filmmaker working in cinema today. No matter what new things he tries, everything is always signature Giuseppe Andrews. He is a true auteur."
It has been confirmed that Andrews will be starring in the Cabin Fever sequel Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever.
Giuseppe Andrews was born in Key Largo, Florida. His real name is Joey Andrews, but as he grew up he thought his name sounded too young and changed it to Giuseppe after Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. After his parents divorced, Andrews became interested in acting. He and his father moved to Los Angeles because of his father's work, and for a time lived in a van. One day he saw an ad in a magazine for auditions for an agency and decided to go for it. He was signed up and says that it was really hard to get into the industry, but he was very lucky. Since that time he has been in many films, television movies and programs, and music videos. He is best known as his role for Lex in Detroit Rock City (1999) and for his role as Germ on the TV series "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" (1998). He can also be seen in Smashing Pumpkins "1979" music video and their "Perfect" music video. His next goal is to be more involved behind a camera, like writing and directing his own films. He also writes music and hopes to combine them into his future films, too.
