Asan N'Jie hates watching himself on TV, but finds it useful so he can make "adjustments" to his acting.
Asan N'Jie
The 'Emmerdale' actor - who is best known for portraying Ellis Chapman on the ITV soap - isn't a big fan of seeing himself on-screen, but knows it can be worthwhile so he can "reflect" on his acting abilities.
He said: "I cringe. I hate it. I don't think I'll ever like watching myself on screen but I still always do it.
"I'm like, 'No I'm not going to watch.' Then I'm there with my mum down watching the telly.
"It's good for an actor sometimes to just reflect on what they are doing I suppose.
"If you are on set, and you ask for a playback sometimes that is good as well so you can make slight adjustments.
"But then, it's also good to not watch yourself so you are not in your head and feeling too self-conscious.
"So, it depends on the individual and how you feel on that moment really."
Ellis is to suffer from panic attacks next week after being stabbed during a recent night out, and Aaron Sugden-Dingle (Danny Miller) will attempt to reassure him during a period of anxiety.
And Asan is delighted he and Danny have recently been working more closely together because he considers his co-star to be a "brilliant" performer.
He said: "Me and Danny didn't have too many scenes together [at first]. I think writers have picked up on it and tried to spark a relationship between us both.
"Obviously Danny is a brilliant actor he knows what he's doing. It's a lot easier when you are with an actor like that where they are just in their element and doing what they do best."
