Watch: Patsy Parisi: The Quietest Threat in The Sopranos
Mobsters DailyPatsy Parisi never raises his voice, and he may be the most dangerous man in the DiMeo family: a soldier whose twin brother Tony had killed, smiling at the boss's table for years. Watch the video above, then read Patsy's story.
Dan Grimaldi plays both Parisi twins, and after Philly "Spoons" Parisi is whacked on Tony's orders, Patsy's arc becomes a masterclass in suppressed voltage: the drunken night he points a gun through Tony's window and chooses, instead, to urinate in his pool. He never moves against Tony on screen, which is exactly why fans still theorize about him in the finale, where his son is Meadow's fiancé and Patsy sits one degree from the family at the last supper. Whether or not he ever acts, the show plants him as proof that Tony's peace is always borrowed.
Quick answer: Patsy served Tony loyally for years after Tony killed his twin brother, and the show never confirms whether his patience is forgiveness or a plan.
