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

Spend One 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 going to be a beloved comedic celeb. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has been in comparison with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He or she is frequently preferred to headline Ny City’s biggest and most legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And after this he is the starring role inside the feature comedy CHARLIE BOY, which Kritikos co-wrote with Frederick Stroppel and that also features Kelly Le Brock as Donna and Burt Young as Luca.

CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ actual life, follows the story of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and giving returning to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he’s still burdened from the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming on account of his drinking, drugging and negligence of history. So when close 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 aid others and switch misfortune into laughter, saves the afternoon and catapults Charlie to a higher level of enlightenment.

Charlie Boy director Timothy Hines says, “It was Greg and Frederick’s script that drove me to generate Charlie Boy. We’ve worked within this business for decades and i also haven’t ever read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to get this to movie. And with Greg, things i can let you know, he’s a walking dynamo each inch an accessible humanist.”

“When I met Greg Kritikos I immediately saw this modern-day Jackie Gleason slash James Cagney man having a soul-spilling heart, who forced me to be laugh my face off with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that 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 as well as a heaven-sent cast and crew, i knew CHARLIE BOY would come out successful. I am just so thankful for everybody and all the chance for this picture. I can’t wait for world to view Greg Kritikos knock this out from the park.”
