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

Spend 1 Minute with Greg Kritikos and you will probably understand why this Ny comic headliner has audiences flocking to him and great buzz surrounding his starring role in CHARLIE BOY, a fresh comedy movie by Timothy Hines.

Greg Kritikos was always destined to be a beloved comedic celeb. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has been in comparison to Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He or she is frequently popular to headline The big apple City’s biggest and most legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And now he’s the starring role from 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 tale of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and giving returning to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Nyc, he is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming due to his drinking, drugging and negligence from the past. Then when close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces on the extreme and his awesome prior mob boss Big Angie moves back into town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he is able to to assist others and switch misfortune into laughter, saves the afternoon and catapults Charlie to the next level of enlightenment.

Charlie Boy director Timothy Hines says, “It was Greg and Frederick’s script that drove me to produce Charlie Boy. We’ve worked with this business for decades i have not read this kind of perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to make this movie. And with Greg, what I can let you know, he’s a walking dynamo every inch an accessible humanist.”

“When I met Greg Kritikos I immediately saw this modern-day Jackie Gleason slash James Cagney man with a soul-spilling heart, who helped me laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who is producing CHARLIE BOY along with Kritikos. “Kritikos combined with Frederick Stroppel’s comedic writing, the leadership of director Timothy Hines and executive producer Dominick Martini along with a heaven-sent cast and crew, i knew CHARLIE BOY would end up a winner. Now i am so thankful for everybody as well as the chance about this picture. I can’t wait for the world to see Greg Kritikos knock this place out of your park.”
