Gene Andrusco (April 6, 1961 – March 20, 2000), better known as Gene Eugene, was a Canadian-born actor, record producer, engineer, composer, and musician.[2] Andrusco was best known as the leader of the alternative rock band Adam Again,[3] a member of The Swirling Eddies (credited as Prickly Disco), and as a founding member of the supergroup Lost Dogs.[4]

Prior to his music career, Eugene was a child actor including one role as "Young Darrin Stephens" in a 1971 episode of Bewitched ("Out of the Mouths of Babes"). On top of his own musical projects, Eugene was a record producer producing albums for other contemporary Christian artists ranging from Crystal Lewis to The Prayer Chain to Starflyer 59. Eugene was married to musician and fellow Adam Again band member, Riki Michele until they divorced in 1994. Eugene was found dead in his studio on March 20, 2000 as a result of an undiagnosed brain aneurism.[5]
