S4 E29: BENITO SKINNER

Before The Lights

Show Notes

This week we're joined by actor/ writer/ Overcompensating creator model/ Mary Beth Barone's muse Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama).

As well as looking back on his journey behind and in front of the camera, we discuss the genetics that made him an "athletic powerhouse" and his mission to be physically "unstoppable".

There's also a chance for Benito to recall an experience at the Barbie premiere that he wanted to leave LA forever through embarrassment.
