Jeffrey Vincent Parise: Movies & Box Office

Jeffrey Vincent Parise (born July 8, 1977) is an American actor and visual artist whose career spans more than two decades across television, film, stage and the fine‑arts world. He broke into the industry in 1994 with a guest spot as Dwayne on the short‑lived series Sisters, and quickly became a fixture of the Los Angeles theatre community, appearing in productions such as Christopher Joyce’s Jerusalem Avenue that showcased his versatility and early commitment to craft. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s he built a robust résumé of guest roles on popular series including Turks, Millennium, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: NY, Walker, Texas Ranger, NYPD Blue, Monk, Veronica Mars, Burn Notice and Castle, demonstrating an ability to inhabit a wide range of characters from detectives to quirky side‑kicks. His recurring work on daytime dramas—most notably as Detective Sullivan on Days of Our Lives (2007‑2008) and the dual roles of Carlos Rivera and his twin brother Joe Rivera on General Hospital (2013‑2016)—earned him a dedicated fanbase and solidified his status in the soap‑opera arena. In addition to television, Parise has appeared in independent and genre films such as The Unscarred (2000), Wim Wenders’ Don’t Come Knocking (2005), The Love Witch (2016) where he portrayed the unsettling Wayne, and the award‑winning series Supernatural as the demon Asmodeus. His performance as Tony in Callback: The Unmaking of Bloodstain (2007) garnered three Best Actor awards, underscoring his talent for leading‑role work. Parallel to his acting career, Parise is an accomplished painter who began creating art in 1996; his book A Decade of Paintings 2000‑2010 collects a ten‑year survey of his work along with commentary from his subjects. He regularly exhibits in Los Angeles galleries, participates in California art and music festivals, and even performed the drumbrella with the William Earth Harp Ensemble on America’s Got Talent in 2012, where the group finished third. This blend of on‑screen presence and visual artistry makes Jeffrey Vincent Parise a uniquely multidisciplinary figure in contemporary American entertainment.
