Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend 1 Minute with Greg Kritikos and you’ll discover 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 going to be a beloved comedic superstar. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster may be compared to 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. And 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 back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he could be still burdened from the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming due to his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. While colleague Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces towards the extreme with his fantastic prior mob boss Big Angie moves back to town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all they can to assist others change misfortune into laughter, saves the afternoon 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 generate Charlie Boy. We have worked on this business for years and i also have never read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to make this movie. And dealing with Greg, a few things i let you know, he could be 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 which has a soul-spilling heart, who forced me to be laugh my face using one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who is producing CHARLIE BOY with Kritikos. “Kritikos combined 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 prove a success. I am just so thankful for all and all the good luck for this picture. I can’t wait for the world to find out Greg Kritikos knock this one out of your park.”
