‘Overcompensating’ Star Benito Skinner on Making the ‘Gayest Show Ever,’ Getting Naked on Screen and That Shocking Condom Scene: ‘Let’s Go There!’


‘Overcompensating’ creator and star Benito Skinner on making the 'gayest show ever,' getting naked on screen and that shocking condom scene.

The eight-episode premiere season follows Benny as he navigates frat life, same-sex crushes and trying to live up to his family and friends’ high and very hetero expectations. The cast also includes Wally Baram as Benny’s new college bestie Carmen and Mary Beth Barone as his “Mean Girls”-esque sister Grace. Skinner says in keeping with the show’s college setting, he decided Benny should be seen naked quite often, especially when a frat initiation leaves him in his birthday suit in the woods with the not-sure-if-he’s-gay Miles.
