Giuseppe Andrews
Born

Joey Murcia Jr.


(1979-04-25) April 25, 1979 (age 45)
Years active1989–2015

Joey Murcia Jr. (born April 25, 1979), known professionally as Giuseppe Andrews is an American former actor, screenwriter, director, and singer-songwriter known for his roles as Lex in the 1999 film Detroit Rock City, a bizarre sheriff's deputy in Cabin Fever (2002), a small role in Never Been Kissed (1999), as well as appearances in The Smashing Pumpkins videos "1979" and "Perfect".

Andrews has been involved in writing, directing, scoring, editing, shooting and producing a number of avant-garde films, and has directed several experimental independent movies. As of 2015, Andrews' whereabouts are unknown and he has ceased acting and songwriting.[1]

Biography[edit]

Andrews was born Joey Murcia Jr. in Key Largo, Florida.[2] 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 more acting jobs for Giuseppe.

Director Adam Rifkin has said of Andrews "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." Rifkin also directed a documentary about Andrews, titled Giuseppe Makes a Movie.

Andrews reprised his role as a sheriff's deputy in the Cabin Fever sequel Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009).[3]

He also appeared in the ninth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, in the episode titled "Let It Bleed".

Andrews disappeared from the public eye in 2015.
