Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend One minute with Greg Kritikos and you will probably see 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 movie star. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster continues to be compared to Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He’s frequently sought after to headline Nyc City’s biggest and most legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. Now he is the starring role inside the feature comedy CHARLIE BOY, which Kritikos co-wrote with Frederick Stroppel and this 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 back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Nyc, 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. Then when close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces for 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 they can to help you others and turn 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. I’ve worked with this business for years i haven’t read this type of perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to get this movie. And dealing with Greg, what I can let you know, he’s 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 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 side Kritikos. “Kritikos joined 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 that i knew CHARLIE BOY would turn out a success. I’m just so thankful for anyone and all the good fortune on this picture. I can’t wait for an world to see Greg Kritikos knock that one from the park.”
