Jesse Eisenberg asked for a copy of his 'Modern Family' that he could watch: one with his scenes cut out, show's star reveals.

TL;DR: Jesse Eisenberg guest-starred on a 2014 episode of Modern Family (playing environmentalist neighbor Asher) because he loved the show… but was so averse to watching himself act that he asked producers to send him a version with all his scenes spliced out.
On Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me podcast (with Alexander Skarsgård), they laughed over Eisenberg’s general reluctance to view his own work—he’ll breeze into premieres, introduce the movie, vanish for two hours and slip back in—anxiety he’s admitted has even made him skittish since the rough reception to his Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman. These days he’s busy writing/directing/starring in Oscar-nominated projects like A Real Pain.
