John Christian Love, known for enjoying Ernesto in AMC’s Higher Call Saul, recently surprised fans after revealing that he’s now working as an Amazon delivery driver. The actor shared the update on social media, explaining that he took up the job to support himself as acting opportunities have slowed down.
The 35-year-old actor, who was earlier known by the name Brandon K. Hampton, appeared in the favored crime drama as Ernesto, the loyal friend of Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk. While the show earned global popularity, Love has largely stayed away from the highlight because the series wrapped up.

Interacting with fans on his post in regards to the challenges he faces within the industry, he revealed, “I haven’t given up on it, just really slow straight away. And BCS wasn’t the breakout I used to be hoping.” He also opened up about a major film he worked on alongside Lily Gladstone and Bryan Cranston that ran out of funding, leaving him unpaid while other actors were paid up front.
In one other comment thread he explained, “The industry has tried up, I’m uninterested in waiting for permission, so going to start out doing my very own projects, but got to do something aside from this because it truly is killing me, I used to be a mail carrier, FedEx driver, UPS seasonal driver, and all of them were higher, all of them sucked.”
John added that each one other corporations were higher than Amazon. The routes were modified every single day, the vans were in poor condition, and there was no proper work culture or real advantages. He further stated that the RSR facility was also included in these issues.
For now, Love continues delivering packages while attempting to rebuild his acting profession, planning to create his own projects to remain energetic within the industry.
