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

Spend 60 seconds or so with Greg Kritikos and you may understand 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 may be when compared with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He could be frequently desired to headline Nyc City’s biggest and many legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. Now he could be the starring role inside 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 tale of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now works as a standup comedian and, after a period of recovery and giving returning to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens The big apple, he is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence of history. When colleague Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to the extreme and his awesome 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 you others swap 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 generate Charlie Boy. I’ve worked on this business for years i haven’t read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to make this movie. And working with Greg, things i can let you know, he could be a walking dynamo and 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 using one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that’s producing CHARLIE BOY along side 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, i knew CHARLIE BOY would turn out a victor. I’m just so thankful for everybody and all the chance on this picture. I can’t wait for an world to find out Greg Kritikos knock that one from the park.”
