Patsy Parisi

Patsy is a New Jersey capo, a card-playing, wisecracking presence at Satriale's and the Bada Bing, always at the edges of the crew's business. He's cautious and a little put-upon, doing what's asked without much appetite for glory, carrying a private grief about his twin brother that colors how he looks at Tony.

Dan Grimaldi plays him with a hangdog, exhausted patience that's very funny without ever tipping into cartoon — Patsy is the guy who sighs before he agrees to anything. The show uses him to show what ordinary mob middle management looks like: nervous, loyal, quietly aggrieved, never quite sure he's safe.
