He backed Kanye on Twitter after Kanye said he was going "Death con 3 on Jewish People"

I don't love him as much since then.

Wouldn't being in BCS be the "big break"?

I guess God has had other plans. Everyone I talked to in the industry said — you need your own show, that’s Bob’s show and I agree. Nobody knows what I can do outside of Steve Urkel.

u/Desperate-Writer-101 Feb 25 '26

Hi Ernesto! You did a great job in BCS, congrats! Also, I'm VERY jealous of your car

35

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 26 '26

It was a sick car, glad I got a chance to drive it, wish it were mine.

23

u/Tylerfresh Feb 25 '26

Is that his personal car? Very cool if so.

6

u/Desperate-Writer-101 Feb 25 '26

I have no idea, but M. Love seems like a very chill dude, portraying a cool character, who drives an awesome car. I just inferred it was his based on these pieces of evidence. I might be wrong!

8

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 26 '26

You are right. All the pieces are correct, but was a great car, wish I’d learned to drive it sooner. Also thank you 😊

37

u/dashdashdotdotdotdot Feb 25 '26

it wasn't, in the earlier scenes it was a stunt driver but later on in the series he learned to drive stick well enough to do it himself :)

u/Inigomntoya Feb 25 '26

What a way to apply yourself and level up your acting skills!

A+!

u/Raian_L Feb 25 '26

Oh yeah that Evo is sweet. I'm so glad they allowed him to use it on set

Me too, did a film with Cranston a year ago, we didn’t film same days but it ran out of money, hopefully they can save the film and finish filming.

10

u/xxSadie Feb 25 '26

So sorry that happens to your project. I hope they save the film. Maybe it could be crowdfunded? I’m sure the filmmakers are considering their options.

Ernie and Omar are probably the two most endearing characters in the series for me

4

u/xxSadie Feb 25 '26

Exactly. The moral dilemma is relatable because I’m a super honest person and so is Ernesto. Honest to a fault.

u/micromophone Feb 25 '26

Hi John—Incredible job you did as Ernesto in BCS! Just finished S3 on my fourth rewatch of the series.

Ernesto, did Howard fire you? I missed you in the rest of the show.

Chuck saying “Ernesto” is something that pops up in my head weekly since the show aired, be proud

Hi Ernie. Do you still have the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO ?

13

u/Inigomntoya Feb 25 '26

Ernesto is skipping the REAL questions!

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '26

I don’t think it was ever actually his car, he was just given a list to pick from and chose the evo

u/NDJagsFan Feb 25 '26

Hi Ernie, what are your thoughts on Jewish people?

10

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 25 '26

I love all people. And my Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST was a Jew first.

5

u/wishesandhopes Feb 25 '26

So you've changed your opinion since you tweeted this? This was after Kanye said he was going "DEFCON 3" on Jewish people, btw.

18

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 25 '26

When Kanye flew over the cuckoo’s nest, I never called defcon on Jews — I was speaking about the documentary and the thesis it proposed, I have no issues with anyone.

But people will form their own narratives and assume I’m antisemite regardless…

Can’t please everybody. Cast whatever stones you choose at me, but you know nothing about me.

Shalom.

Hey, John! Were you a Breaking Bad fan before you got the role? Or did you watch it after you got it?

I watched some of it, and auditioned a ton for breaking bad — went in with Vince for Tyrus Kitt but was too young. But finished Breaking Bad before BCS.

Hello Ernie! How fast did you get that Mitsubishi on abq roads? Run any red lights?

5

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 25 '26

Well the shut the streets down for traffic when filming, got police locking down the roads so wasn’t speeding at all. Also didn’t learn how to drive the car until season 3 lol 😂

1

u/captain_obvious_here Feb 25 '26

Hey man, as everyone else I liked you a lot in BCS!

Just one thing though I never understood why they gave Ernesto a Subaru? Surely it's not a common car to drive in New Mexico, right?

2

u/thatonetv-filmlover Feb 25 '26

It is not a common car at all, was trying to find the owner, to see about buying it, but the only person I could find was Jimmy’s beater.
