As much as I love this flick, I do sometimes wish there had been a flashback segment detailing Mr. Pink's backstory and how he was hired by Joe and Eddie. We get one for Mr. White, Mr. Blonde and Mr. Orange, and learn their real names, but not one for Pink, which seems odd.
shareWhat I just noticed is we never find out White’s (Larry’s) last name but we know Mr. Blonde’s (Vic Vega) & Mr. Orange’s (Freddy Newandyke). Before anyone rushes to answer me, yes I”m aware that there is a Wiki page for Mr. White with his character info as well as his real name, but as far as the movie goes, they never say & I don’t know if his info on the Wiki page was made after the fact or if that’s what Tarantino always intended. Also Blonde’s (Vic Vega) has been used in at least 2 Tarantino movies but I”m not sure if the character is supposed to be related in both of them. RD & Pulp Fiction.
Respectfully I disagree with you on Pink as I believe the movie works better that we don’t know that much about him & that he’s a main character who we ultimately never find out anything about. It’s better that way I think & they only had so much time to devote to each character so I guess Quentin chose who it was going to be & who had to be left out & why.

Mr. Orange, finds Mr. White's mug shot, having done what the other detective he is working with suggested at the diner, i.e. search the criminal records of those with histories of armed robbery from Wisconsin. Freddie/Orange tells the black guy that he's found White and that his real name is Lawrence Dimick. share
That scene was actually filmed, but ultimately deleted from the movie:

i'm guessing it was also done to keep him (along with brown & blue) as suspects in the viewer's eyes.
even though Orange literally looked like a narc during the opening sequence..
