Mr. Pink

Mr. Pink

"We were set up.  The cops were there waiting for us." -Mr. Pink explaining why the heist went awry.

Mr. Pink is one of the main characters in the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs.  Unlike most of his accomplices, he is more level-headed and doesn't chose violence as a primary option.  Like the majority of the other robbers, his real name is never revealed.

He is portrayed by Steve Buscemi.

Alias

None of his real name is ever revealed.  He is known in the film only by the identity given to him by his boss, Joe Cabot.  He questions why his name/color is Pink, to which Cabot says, "Because you're a faggot, alright?"  He tries to lessen the feminism of it by suggesting that they change it to Mr. Purple, only for this to be shot down as well by Cabot who says he already has a man going by that name working another job.

Robbery

After his accomplice Mr. Blonde went on a shooting spree, Pink found a hole in the police barricade and "shot his way out."  He ran with a satchel full of diamonds with three police officers tailing him close behind.  Eventually, he is struck by a car and he proceeded to carjack it, making his escape.  He revealed in the film that he considered just driving away instead of going to the rendevous point.
