Pasquale "Patsy" Parisi, played by Dan Grimaldi, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos.

Loyalties

Patsy had an identical twin brother, Phillip "Philly Spoons" Parisi (whom Dan Grimaldi also played), who had a hit taken out on him by Tony and was killed by Soprano soldier Gigi Cestone. At the time, Philly was acting capo of Junior Soprano's crew and Patsy was a member. Patsy never had concrete evidence about his brother's murder but it occurred soon after a brief and bloody war between Junior and Tony, and Philly was known to be talking about Tony's actions. It was this killing that prompted Tony to move Patsy to keep an eye on him. Patsy took it very hard, drinking heavily and considering killing Tony—in 2001 a drunken Patsy was observed by FBI agents outside the Soprano family home leveling a gun at Tony through his window. He reconsidered though, and only urinated in the Soprano's pool. Patsy also openly vented his feelings of loss to the Soprano crew in front of the men responsible for his brothers death, Gigi and Tony, at a dinner in the back of Satriale's. However, he eventually put his grief behind him.

Patsy still has questionable loyalties. When Patsy's then-capo Paulie Walnuts was in prison in 2003, Tony promoted Christopher Moltisanti to acting captain over Patsy (who had seniority). Patsy didn't take this well, eventually getting into a fight with Christopher. Once Paulie was released and moved up to Underboss, Christopher took over as capo of the crew permanently—Patsy eventually seemed comfortable working with him.

Patsy was one of the people dissatisfied with Tony Soprano protecting his cousin Tony Blundetto from Phil Leotardo, putting the entire family in jeopardy. However, Patsy seemed to be very impressed after Tony shot Blundetto himself; perhaps, knowing that Tony sacrificed his own cousin for the sake of the family made Patsy feel better about his own brother being killed.

In the penultimate episode "The Blue Comet", Patsy is nearly killed by two men sent to murder Silvio Dante. Patsy and Silvio manage to hold them off, but Silvio is badly wounded and put into a coma, and Patsy runs into the woods fleeing for his life. He survives and later celebrates his son's engagement to Meadow Soprano with Tony and his family, seeing a great opportunity to get closer to Tony.

As a soldier

Throughout his time with the crew, Patsy has never been seen to whack anyone—perhaps his reluctance to get involved in wet work is what holds him back. However, he showed a certain skill for intimidation when warning off Tony's ex-camàre, Gloria Trillo. Wet work is an euphemism for murder or assassination by governmental agencies that came into use during the Cold War. ...

Early in the series, Patsy was involved in a smuggling run of luxury clothing, supplying Carmela with a fur coat and Tony's cousin Brian with Italian suits. Patsy and Benny Fazio work with Angie Bonpensiero, handling her money on the street and providing stolen car parts for her business (the Body Shop). Patsy helped Paulie intimidate Jason Barone when he was considering selling Barone sanitation following his father's death. He was present when Tony won the respect of the crew by beating up Perry Annunziata at Satriale's. With the revelation that Vito Spatafore was homosexual, Patsy was one of the few crew members not to bay for blood—he laughed at Christopher's jokes and his statement "I could care less" earned derision from Paulie Walnuts.

Patsy makes collections in the North Ward neighborhood. He has been having problems in the area with franchised businesses that refuse to pay him, and the selling of Caputo's poultry (a longtime local store) by Tony annoyed Patsy. Patsy was accompanied on his rounds by newly made man Burt Gervasi. Patsy helped Paulie organize the Feast of St. Elzear in co-ordination with the local church. Patsy genuflected upon entering the church for a meeting with the priest—he takes his Catholicism seriously despite his lifestyle.

Patsy was probably promoted to caporegime, after Moltisanti was killed and his son is in a serious relationship with Meadow Soprano (though this is never established in the show). In the series finale, after Paulie rejected an offer to take over the Aprile/Cifaretto/Gervasi crew because everyone who has run it has died (Gigi, Ralph, Vito, etc.) Tony considered giving it to Patsy. Paulie then immediately accepted the offer. A caporegime (sometimes shortened to capo) is a term used in the Mafia for a high ranking member of a crime family who heads a crew (or group) of soldiers. ...


Personal

Patsy is married to Donna Parisi but has been shown with other women while the crew are out with their girlfriends. He has two sons—Jason, who attends college and is involved with sports betting and an older son Patrick in the legal field. In Season Six, Patsy seems pleased that Patrick is dating Meadow Soprano and tells Tony that "wedding bells are in the air" and that they are not too young to be grandfathers. He also previously expressed his pride in Jason's computer and gambling skills. In the series finale, Meadow announces her engagement to Patrick. Should this lead to marriage, Patsy will become Meadow's father-in-law.
