Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend 1 Minute with Greg Kritikos and you will understand why this New York 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 usually a beloved comedic movie star. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has become compared to Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He or she is frequently sought after to headline New York City’s biggest and most legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And after this he could be the starring role within 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 a period of recovery and providing time for his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he’s still burdened with the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming on account of his drinking, drugging and negligence in history. So when good friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to the extreme and his prior mob boss Big Angie moves back to town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he is able to to help others and switch misfortune into laughter, saves your day 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 produce Charlie Boy. I’ve worked with this business for many years and that i have not read a real perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to make this movie. And dealing with Greg, things i can tell you, 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 using a soul-spilling heart, who forced me to be laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who’s producing CHARLIE BOY along side 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, and I knew CHARLIE BOY would come out successful. Now i am so thankful for anyone and all the fortune about this picture. I can’t wait for the world to see Greg Kritikos knock this one out of your park.”
