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 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 compared to Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He or she is frequently popular to headline The big apple City’s biggest and quite a few legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And today he’s the starring role from 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 life, follows the storyline of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now works as a standup comedian and, after a period of recovery and providing time for his beloved community of Astoria, Queens New York, he is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. So when close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces towards 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 assist others swap misfortune into laughter, saves your day 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 create Charlie Boy. We have worked with this business for decades and that i have not read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to make this movie. And with Greg, things i can advise you, he’s a walking dynamo and each 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 made me laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that is producing CHARLIE BOY along side Kritikos. “Kritikos coupled 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 also knew CHARLIE BOY would end up a success. Now i am so thankful for anyone and all sorts of good luck for this picture. I can’t wait for a world to find out Greg Kritikos knock this one out of the park.”
