I love acting; it’s my favorite thing in the world. Just being on set and doing scenes and building these realities. But this season, everyone was so excited to get back to it; we’re all just dying to do it. Everyone involved really loves what they’re doing, and that’s a big component, even if it’s heavy or hot or cold. I just enjoy the hell out of it.”
Moreover, Sklenar hinted at future collaborations with Taylor Sheridan beyond the realm of 1923 and Yellowstone, expressing his desire to continue working with the renowned creator: “I’d love to keep working with that man.
