Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, also 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. "To see people at their level and to be able to maintain such a deep level of humility and humanity and kindness is something that I'll take with me forever because they are both just really special human beings and I think that that's reflective in their work and how they're revered by audiences and have been revered for so many years."

Also, recalling his previous praise of the season two finale, which he deemed the best script he's ever read, Sklenar 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 adds. "It's the most fun I've had as an actor in my life — shooting this season — and I cannot wait for people to see it. I know they'll love it."
