Mr. Pink is the tritagonist of the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs. Unlike most of his accomplices, he is more level-headed and doesn't choose violence as a primary option. Like the majority of the other robbers, his real name is never revealed.
He was portrayed by Steve Buscemi, who also portrayed Carl Showalter in Fargo, Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire, Garland Greene in Con Air, Mr. Wesley in Home on the Range, Francis E. Francis in The Boss Baby, Dwight Diddlehopper in The Simpsons, Tony Blundetto in The Sopranos, Gordon Pratt in Homicide: Life on the Street, and Randall Boggs in Monsters Inc. and Monsters University.
Biography[]
Mr. Pink's role in the heist was to interrogate the manager in order to get the diamonds along with Mr. White. 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 rendezvous point. By the end of the film, his partners Nice Guy Eddie and Joe are killed for trying to kill Mr. Orange who was a cop, and Mr. Pink runs out with the diamonds.

Reservoir Dogs (Video game)[]
Mr. Pink in the video game.
Mr. Pink features as a playable character in the 2006 video game adaption for Reservoir Dogs. His missions depict him escaping from the robbery and back to the warehouse, and then retrieving the diamonds that he had stashed. The way the player plays the game determines Mr. Pink's final fate at the end of the game. If they act "professional" (not killing everything in sight and being more strategic), Mr. Pink will escape after the Mexican stand-off, but lose the diamonds in the process. If the player gets a "career criminal rank", Mr. Pink will be arrested, and if they get the "psycho" rank, Mr. Pink will be gunned down by police when attempting to shoot his way out.
His "signature move" in the game (a method used to make all police surrender) is hitting the hostage repeatedly.
When Mr. Pink goes into a "bullet festival", he cracks his neck, similar to Mr. Orange.

Trivia[]
- Mr. Pink's real name is never 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 fa**ot, 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.
- Mr. Pink is the only character to survive the events of the movie.
- Mr. Pink is the only one out of all four main characters (the others being Mr. Blue, Mr. White and Mr. Orange) not to have his true name revealed.
- The late Dennis Hopper was offered for the role of Mr. Pink by writer/director Quentin Tarantino and star Harvey Keitel, but he was unavailable. The late Tom Sizemore was also considered for the role of Mr. Pink.
- Quentin Tarantino himself was going to play the role of Mr. Pink.
- Despite that the film's ending discreetly implies that Mr. Pink was apprehended by the police, Steve Buscemi has expressed his belief that Mr. Pink actually managed to get away and is now working as a badly tipped waiter as punishment for being such a cheapskate. This is most likely not canon, however.
- Due to the movie's budget being unable to cover police assistance for the traffic control, Mr. Pink had to force a woman out of her car and drives off in the car the woman drove.
- That also includes his pants being black jeans instead of suit pants.
