Benito Skinner Says He “Dissociated So Many Times” While Making ‘Overcompensating’ Prime Series


Discussing his upcoming Prime Video series 'Overcompensating', Benito Skinner opened up about making the semi-autobiographical show.

The actor and comedian recently opened up about Overcompensating, his upcoming Prime Video series in which he plays “a version of myself in the closet” during his college years. Created by Skinner, Overcompensating is a college-set ensemble comedy about the wild, chaotic journey of Benny (Skinner), a closeted former football player and homecoming king, as he becomes fast friends with Carmen, a high school outsider on a mission to fit in at all costs. Deeply funny and personal, the show explores the lengths to which we all overcompensate while on the path to finding out who we really are.
