Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY

Spend 60 seconds or so with Greg Kritikos and you will probably realise why this Ny comic headliner has audiences flocking to him and great buzz surrounding his starring role in CHARLIE BOY, a brand new comedy movie by Timothy Hines.

Greg Kritikos was always destined to be a beloved comedic superstar. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has been in comparison with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He is frequently popular to headline Ny City’s biggest and most legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And now he is the starring role in the feature comedy CHARLIE BOY, which Kritikos co-wrote with Frederick Stroppel and which features Kelly Le Brock as Donna and Burt Young as Luca.

CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ real world, follows the storyplot of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and giving back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens New York, he or she is still burdened with the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming as a result of his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. Then when buddy Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces on the extreme and the prior mob boss Big Angie moves back in town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he can to help others and switch misfortune into laughter, saves the morning and catapults Charlie to another level of enlightenment.

Charlie Boy director Timothy Hines says, “It was Greg and Frederick’s script that drove me to make Charlie Boy. We’ve worked within this business for decades and I haven’t read a real perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to choose this movie. And with Greg, a few things i can tell you, he’s a walking dynamo and each inch an accessible humanist.”

“When I met Greg Kritikos I immediately saw this modern-day Jackie Gleason slash James Cagney man using a soul-spilling heart, who taught me to be laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who’s producing CHARLIE BOY together with Kritikos. “Kritikos joined with Frederick Stroppel’s comedic writing, the leadership of director Timothy Hines and executive producer Dominick Martini and a heaven-sent cast and crew, and that i knew CHARLIE BOY would come out a winner. Now i am so thankful for everyone and all the good luck about this picture. I can’t wait for the world to view Greg Kritikos knock this place from the park.”
