Benito Skinner, known for his viral impressions of celebrities, makes his formal TV debut in 'Overcompensating,' a comedy drama on Prime Video. The show chronicles his character Benny's first year at university, where he grapples with his sexual identity while maintaining an outward facade of traditional masculinity. Unlike his unruly online persona, Skinner's performance is more reserved, highlighting Benny as an attractive, repressed football player who struggles with self-acceptance. The series presents a poignant balance between comedy and emotional depth, reflecting Skinner's evolution as an artist.
"I love pussy, our hero tells his reflection, an assertion undermined by flashbacks of furtive childhood rewinds of George of the Jungle..."
"Skinner's social media oeuvre showcases his ability to create a manic collage of pop culture moments, driving his comedic style ahead of this new TV project."
