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 as Joey Andrews in Key Largo, Florida.[1] 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.[citation needed]
