"1923" star Brandon Sklenar told Fox News Digital at the Golden Globe Awards that he's ready to work alongside Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.
"1923" star Brandon Sklenar has had an introduction to his co-stars, Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, but he is really looking forward to finally working with them on the "Yellowstone" prequel.
On Sunday night, Sklenar told Fox News Digital on the Golden Globes red carpet that while he's spent time with two stars at "cowboy camp," he hasn't had a chance to film scenes with them.
"I will in the last eight episodes that we're about to start," Sklenar noted.

Sklenar attended the tough "cowboy camp," which was designed to help the actors prepare for the series, with Mirren and Ford. Brandon recalled Helen being "grounded" and "inspiring" during the process.

"Helen was in camp with us. Harrison kind of did his own thing. He brought his own saddle," Sklenar noted. He also shared that Ford flew in on his "own helicopter."

"The guy's just a bada--," Brandon said.
Sklenar's biggest takeaway from the cowboy experience was demonstrated by Mirren.
"She's just so grounded all the time," he said. "There's no sense of self where it's inflated in any way. Just witnessing that has been really inspiring. It's just the way to do it … staying salty."
"1923" was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Sklenar. He told Fox News Digital that a memorable part of the series was the various filming locations.

"I'll probably never have an experience like that again," said Sklenar, who portrays Spencer Dutton. "We were in Africa, in Kenya, in Malta … shot in Salt Lake, shot in Montana, and even if I do a film on that scale again, you just rarely get to go to those locations."
He continued, "Taylor [Sheridan] being who he is … if he writes that's where you are, then that's where you go, and he sends you there, and he throws you into the wolves."
As far as information on the next "Yellowstone" spin-off series, Sklenar doesn't have the inside scoop.

"They run a pretty tight ship over there," he noted. "It's kind of exciting that way. We don't really know until we know."
