Cliff Parisi (born 24 May 1960〔http://web.researcha.com/iccquery/detail/?did=8104058&c=uk〕) is a British actor of Italian descent, largely recognised for his performance as Rick 'Minty' Peterson in the BBC soap opera ''EastEnders''. He is currently appearing in the BBC period drama ''Call the Midwife''. ==Career== Parisi began his career in 1982 when he started touring the United Kingdom as a stand-up comedian. He continued working as a stand-up comedian for the next seven years before being offered a bit part in the film ''Queen of Hearts'' in 1989. Interested in taking up acting, Parisi changed his vocation and after a series of bit parts landed his first noticeable character: Lunchbox in the TV series ''Chancer''. Parisi was then given bigger parts on television, most noticeably on the TV series' ''Kavanagh QC'', ''Bramwell'' and ''A Prince Among Men''. After finishing the former TV series, Parisi then auditioned for what would be his most famous role: Minty Peterson in ''EastEnders''. He was recommended for the part by close friend and ''EastEnders'' actor Steve McFadden and since his inception into the soap opera in 2002 the public have seen his character Minty form a close friendship with Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves) and evolve from a cold-hearted landlord to a hapless unlucky-in-love mechanic and then to finding love with both established characters Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) and Manda Best (Josie Lawrence). He made his final appearance on 21 September 2010, ending 8 years on the show. In December 2010 he starred in the pantomime "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking. He did not attend one of the Seven Dwarfs' real life birthday parties because he was staying in a Travelodge on performance nights and wanted to return to see his family, despite the fact that his favourite Victoria sponge cake was being served. In 2012, Parisi filmed a guest role with Channel 4 soap opera ''Hollyoaks'', playing the character of Walt. Since 2012, Parisi has starred in the BBC period drama ''Call the Midwife'', appearing as Fred. Parisi also appeared in the 5th and final series of British Sitcom 'Outnumbered', as concerned parent Ed Poll. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cliff Parisi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
