Mitchell Slaggerthas received a warm welcome from fans upon joiningThe Sex Lives of College Girlsin its second season.

When the first trailer for the new season of the HBO Max hit dropped last month, the four leading ladies' characters — and fans alike — took immediate notice of the model-turned-actor and his new character, Jackson.

In fact, Slaggert — who is currently datingSpencer Kane— says the attention made its way into his DMs.

“There’s a couple interesting ones,” Slaggert, 28, tells PEOPLE. “But it’s a lot of supportive stuff.”

He continues, “People have been very kind [and] just been like, ‘Hey, we’ve been following your career for a while. Just happy to see that you’re doing this.’ It’s been more of that, which is reassuring.”

Slaggert also says he “loved” working on the series. “From start to finish, it was just a fun project to be a part of,” he shares.

“I’m so fortunate where I’ve been in the industry for a while, and I’ve had great parents. I just get along with everybody,” he continues. “So I just went in it and was just like, ‘Oh yes, hello. Hi, I’m Mitchell.’ Everybody was very nice, warm, and welcoming.”
