Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend 60 seconds or so with Greg Kritikos and you may realise why this New York comic headliner has audiences flocking to him and great buzz surrounding his starring role in CHARLIE BOY, a whole new comedy movie by Timothy Hines.
Greg Kritikos was always usually a beloved comedic celeb. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has become when compared with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He could be frequently sought after to headline Nyc City’s biggest and quite a few legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. Now he’s 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’ actual life, follows the storyline of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and providing returning to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens New York, he or she is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming on account of his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. While buddy Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to the extreme and his awesome prior mob boss Big Angie moves into town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he can to aid others and turn misfortune into laughter, saves your day and catapults Charlie to a higher level of enlightenment.
Charlie Boy director Timothy Hines says, “It was Greg and Frederick’s script that drove me to produce Charlie Boy. I have worked in this business for many years i have not read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to choose this movie. And with Greg, things i can let you know, he is a walking dynamo each inch an accessible humanist.”
“When I met Greg Kritikos I immediately saw this modern-day Jackie Gleason slash James Cagney man which has a soul-spilling heart, who taught me to be laugh my face off with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who is producing CHARLIE BOY along with Kritikos. “Kritikos along with Frederick Stroppel’s comedic writing, the leadership of director Timothy Hines and executive producer Dominick Martini plus a heaven-sent cast and crew, and I knew CHARLIE BOY would turn out a success. I’m just so thankful for everybody and all the chance for this picture. I can’t wait for the world to view Greg Kritikos knock this out of your park.”
