Patsy Parisi - Definition and Overview

Pasquale "Patsy" Parisi, played by Dan Grimaldi, is one of Tony Soprano's men on the fictional HBO TV series, The Sopranos.

Patsy Parisi works directly under Paulie Walnuts, performing various enforcement tasks for the family. Patsy had an identical twin brother, Phil "Philly Spoons" Parisi (whom Dan Grimaldi also played), who had a hit taken out on him by Tony. Patsy took it very hard, drinking heavily and considering killing Tony. However, he eventually put his grief behind him.

Patsy still has questionable loyalties, however. When Paulie was in prison, Tony promoted Chris to interim captain over Patsy (who had seniority). Patsy didn't take that real well, eventually getting into a fight with Christopher, although the two have apparently put aside their differences for now.
