Giuseppe Andrews (born on April 25, 1979, in Key Largo, Florida) is an American actor/writer/director best known for his roles in 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.
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.
Giuseppe's music can be heard on MySpace Music: www.myspace.com/giuseppeandrewsmusic - Two songs are up from his new CD "Giants."
There is also a website with Giusppe's latest projects for sale: www.giuseppeandrews.net there is a film, cd, and book for sale. There are very insightful reviews by Bill Gibron on each piece which help to bring light to the surreal and cosmic style of Andrews' work. "His movies, idiosyncratic slabs of daily life unhinged, violate every rule of the art form, and function under their own arcane notions of narrative and structure...the masterworks made by this inventive and important artist are the blueprints for the upcoming cinematic revolution."
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
