Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, tells PEOPLE about his experience working alongside Ford and Mirren and the unspoken guidance he received from them both.

“I wouldn’t say that it’s necessarily advice that they gave me but more of an observation, and for me, I think one of the large contributing factors to their staying power and their ability to maintain such incredible careers over such a long time is largely due in part to who they are as human beings,” Sklenar says.

Getting back on-set and into character was a thrill for Sklenar, 34, he says. “Knowing where the show was going and being excited to shoot those pages, and really just being excited to shoot this entire season, was such a great feeling for me.”

“Knowing that I was going to get to do what the little kid in me, the actor in me — I was over the moon,” he continues.

Sklenar has previously teased thatthe season 2 finale is “one of the best things I’ve read in my life,” as he toldForbesin August, “I can confidently say that it’s going to be absolutely incredible.”

“I’ve kind of known how it was going to end since day one —Taylor [Sheridan]kind of told me. I knew the full arc of Spencer from day one, so in shooting part one, you’re mindful of where he needs to go. I’m really excited.”
