Over the past few years he has managed to identify tropes that we didn’t know we’d been aware of until he impersonated them.
As a bona fide social media maven, Skinner is now taking his impersonation skills in a new direction: Acting. Skinner was part of the cast of the “Queer as Folk” reboot, and his film debut was supposed to be in Billy Eichner’s upcoming movie “Bros,” but unfortunately his scenes didn’t make the final cut. Fans will therefore have to wait until next year when he will be seen in “First Time Female Director,” from Chelsea Peretti.
“It’s definitely a theater troupe, and I get to have my theater kid moment that I definitely wanted as a kid, but I unfortunately played football instead to remain in the closet,” Skinner says of his character in Peretti’s movie. “It’s so ensemble-based and everyone is so amazing in it, and there’s this theater troupe. I think people are going to really love this movie. I mean, Chelsea’s a genius and it was an honor to play…I think you might get some of that same demon twink theater gay energy.
“It sounds so cliché to say, ‘I’m so interested in what it’s like to be you.’ But I do think it’s just so fun to be able to transform in a lot of ways,” Skinner says. “I think I’ve always been in love with character actors, and I’ve been able to explore and test so many things on the internet that it feels great to now go into an even more collaborative space, where someone has written it and I didn’t have anything to do with the writing of it. I’m not doing the makeup.
In addition to his other projects, Skinner is developing a variety show special, and has also long been at work on developing his own pilot, which he hopes will see the light of day soon. “I’ve been loving acting. I’m so excited for ‘First Time Female Director’ to come out, and the response to ‘Queer as Folk’ has been really amazing,” he says. “I’m glad people love the absolute demon I am in that as well. Do you see the pattern here? Maybe I should be, like, a sweet person in something. I would love to play a nice boy in something. Luckily I’m writing that for myself, so maybe that’ll be the only time I’m allowed to do it.
