* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the 1961 film Ice is present and takes part in Anita's harassment and AttemptedRape. Specifically, he ( along with diesel ) throws Graziella, Velma, and Tessa outside and locks the door so that they can't help and Anita can't escape.

Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a friendly guy who is well liked by most. But he's also a former gang leader who is fresh out of prison for nearly beating a kid to death and [[spoiler:when Bernardo goads him into a fight, Tony is able to beat him into a pulp.]]


Added DiffLines:

* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:When Bernardo finally goads Tony into fighting him, Tony wins by taking advantage of his larger size to tackle Bernardo and pin him to the ground before delivering several punches to the head.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Bernardo hits him with ''five'' sucker punches, the last of which was hard enough to cut Tony's head open and knock him back into Riff's arms, seemingly unconscious. Despite this, Tony is able to get back up easily and, now that he's enraged enough to actually fight, give Bernardo a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]

* GracefulLoser: While he's disappointed to realize María isn't into him and would rather be with Tony, he accepts it much easier than anyone else does, and seems willing to let her go and be happy. [[spoiler:Then Tony kills Bernardo, and all hell breaks loose.]]

Added DiffLines:

** While he hates Tony from the moment he first sees him, it becomes more intense once he learns that Tony is an ex-convict. Bernardo himself has broken the law several times over, including the very moment when he learns of Tony's imprisonment during the rumble, and has only avoided imprisonment because he either wasn't caught or the police decided to be lenient.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He's refused to let Chino join the Sharks because he recognizes that, unlike most of them, Chino's intelligence and work ethic give him a real chance of becoming successful in America and getting mixed up in the fighting could ruin it. [[spoiler:Tragically, he proves to be 100% correct.]]
Also, even though he most likely doesn't like Anybodys due to his involvement with The Jets, he stands up for him and berates Tiger and Numbers for calling him a 'lesbo', stating "Que tú te crees? Mira a este hombre aqá"

* OralFixation: He chews on a toothpick [[spoiler:when he buys a gun from Abe and Rory.]]



* OralFixation: He is almost always seen with either a cigarette or a toothpick in his mouth, unless he's singing, where he will take it out and put it back when he's done. The one time he has neither, in Doc's after [[spoiler:Riff and Bernardo's deaths,]] he can be seen biting his fingernails.

* TokenGoodCop: Thanks to his AdaptationalPersonalityChange. Rather than the bigoted {{Jerkass}} he is in the stage musical, here he's an honest cop who looks out for the entire neighborhood and genuinely wants to help both the Jets and the Sharks avoid lives of crime and imprisonment. Meanwhile, his boss Lt. Schrank is still a BigotWithABadge, wanting to lock up as many gang members (especially the Sharks) as possible to keep crime down until the area is gentrified and he can be in charge of a relatively crime-free neighborhood.
