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

Spend 60 seconds or so with Greg Kritikos and you’ll see why this The big apple comic headliner has audiences flocking to him and great buzz surrounding his starring role in CHARLIE BOY, a new comedy movie by Timothy Hines.

Greg Kritikos was always usually a beloved comedic superstar. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has become in comparison 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 is the starring role within 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’ real world, follows the storyline of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after a period of recovery and providing time for his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Nyc, he’s still burdened from the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming on account of his drinking, drugging and negligence from the past. While close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces on 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 he can to help you others and switch misfortune into laughter, saves your day 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 create Charlie Boy. I have worked within this business for many years and i also have never read a real perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to choose this movie. And working with Greg, things i can let you know, 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 which has a soul-spilling heart, who taught me to be laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that’s producing CHARLIE BOY with Kritikos. “Kritikos combined 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 knew CHARLIE BOY would come out successful. Now i am so thankful for everyone and all the good luck about this picture. I can’t wait for an world to view Greg Kritikos knock that one out of your park.”
