What is the name of the character played by Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs?

Tim Roth plays Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs.

Mr. Orange is the alias used by Freddy Newandyke, an undercover police officer who infiltrates the robbery crew assembled by Joe Cabot. During the failed jewelry heist, Mr. Orange is shot in the abdomen while escaping. Much of the film’s tension comes from his severe injury, his desperate attempt to maintain his cover, and the growing suspicion among the surviving criminals.

Tim Roth’s character is unusual within the group because his color-coded criminal identity hides a second identity. The audience eventually learns that he is a cop, but the film delays and reshapes that information through flashbacks, including his carefully rehearsed story about a bathroom encounter and a bag of oranges.

Mr. Orange is commonly confused with Mr. White, played by Harvey Keitel, who tries to protect him after the shooting. Mr. Pink, played by Steve Buscemi, is the nervous criminal who escapes with the diamonds, while Michael Madsen plays the volatile Mr. Blonde. These aliases are intentionally similar, making the distinctions part of the film’s puzzle.
