->'''Played By:''' RyanGosling
->''"If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive."''
A mechanic and part-time stunt driver. who moonlights as a stunt driver and getaway driver with a set of very specific rules. Quiet, reclusive and emotionally isolated, he slowly builds a tentative friendship with his new neighbor Irene.
* [[spoiler:AxCrazy: One of the few heroic examples. You double-cross him or try to hurt those he cares about, he '''WILL''' kill you. '''PERIOD'''.]]
* [[ChestInsignia Back Insignia]]: The scorpion on his jacket.
* {{Badass}}: He frequently takes out tough criminals and never loses his cool.
** BadassDriver: Well, obviously. He's a professional mechanic, part-time stuntman and getaway driver.
** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He seems socially stunted, rarely speaking or changing expression.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's more of a listener than a talker.
* BoringButPractical: His entire MO. No hollywood-style chases, no pyrotechnics, no guns.
* CombatPragmatist: The Driver doesn't fight with honor; he fights with whatever he can get his hands on. [[spoiler:He waits until Nino is tipsy after a party, and then t-bones his car before drowning him.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's only hinted at, much like {{Shane}}.
* DoesntLikeGuns: One of his rules is that he never uses a gun, unless it becomes practical.
* [[spoiler:DropTheHammer]]
* HiddenDepths
* LimitedWardrobe: A white shirt and a scorpion jacket; it's since become iconic.
* MysteriousPast
* [[spoiler:NoKillLikeOverkill: When he kills the assassin in the elevator, he stomps the absolute shit out of him. Three times probably would've been enough. He goes on for ages.]]
* NoNameGiven
* TheQuietOne
* [[spoiler:RedemptionFailure: Though he tries to do the right thing, he ultimately misses out on being able to live a normal life.]]
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge]]
* TheStoic: For most of the movie.
** NotSoStoic: While [[spoiler: stomping a thug's face into mush.]]
* [[spoiler:UnscrupulousHero]]
* [[spoiler:TranquilFury]]
* [[spoiler:UnstoppableRage]]
* [[spoiler:WouldHitAGirl]]: [[spoiler:Blanche]] finds this out the hard way.

A Jewish mobster and Bernie Rose's partner in crime. More aggressive than Bernie, he was responsible for breaking Shannon's pelvis and giving him a limp.
* BigBadDuumvirate
** BigBadWannabe: He's certainly an intimidating criminal, but he wants more.
* TheDragon: Sort of, to Bernie. They're pretty much on equal footing, but Bernie is smarter and savvier. Nino tends to be more subservient to Bernie and doesn't seem able to succeed much without him. Played more straight with the East Coast Mafia.
* TheDogBitesBack: Never seen firsthand in the movie, but he was the dog for the East Coast Mafia and his [[spoiler: attempt to steal from them]] is largely motivated by anger.

* SharpDressedMan: Only once. Otherwise, he tends to wear shabby tracksuits.
* SirSwearsALot: As one can tell from the above quotes, Nino is very fond of cursing with most of his dialogue being littered with swear words. It's also worth noting that of all the characters, Bernie is the second worst in this regard, and even he doesn't use half the amount of bad words that Nino uses!
