Fan Casting Tanner Harvey in Roger Avary's Driver

A grizzled FBI agent who went deep undercover for years and lost his family in the process. Years later, while investigating international war profiteering in Iraq, he is violently killed by his former protégé, Vermicelli—but not before his final phone call sets his estranged son on a path of vengeance. Though he dies early, Tanner's presence looms over the entire film as the moral center and tragic catalyst. His brief but powerful scenes establish the emotional stakes and father-son wound that drives the narrative.
