Mr. Pink, portrayed by Steve Buscemi, is a central character in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 crime film, Reservoir Dogs. He is one of eight criminals hired to participate in a diamond heist, each assigned a color-coded alias to maintain anonymity.

Unlike his counterparts, Mr. Pink is vehemently opposed to tipping service workers, a trait that establishes his pragmatic and somewhat cynical personality. He is skeptical and cautious, questioning the reliability of the heist's planning from the outset.

Following the heist's disastrous execution, Mr. Pink emerges as a survivor, largely due to his refusal to fully commit and his suspicion of a potential informant. He fiercely denies being the "rat" and fiercely debates the legitimacy of the heist gone wrong.

Mr. Pink's resourcefulness is demonstrated as he manages to evade capture by the police after the initial ambush. His ultimate fate remains ambiguous; the film ends with him being apprehended off-screen, but leaves his survival uncertain. He is largely viewed as the most capable and sensible of the group.
