Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend 1 Minute with Greg Kritikos and you will probably realise why this Ny comic headliner has audiences flocking to him and great buzz surrounding his starring role in CHARLIE BOY, a whole new comedy movie by Timothy Hines.
Greg Kritikos was always going 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 could be frequently preferred to headline Nyc City’s biggest and many legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And after this he’s the starring role inside the feature comedy CHARLIE BOY, which Kritikos co-wrote with Frederick Stroppel and which also features Kelly Le Brock as Donna and Burt Young as Luca.
CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ real life, follows the storyplot of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now works as a standup comedian and, after a period of recovery and giving returning to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he’s still burdened through the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. While close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces towards the extreme and his awesome prior mob boss Big Angie moves back into town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he can to aid others change misfortune into laughter, saves the 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. I have worked with this business for many years and I have never read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to make this movie. And dealing with Greg, things i can advise you, he or she is 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 forced me to be laugh my face off with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who’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 and a heaven-sent cast and crew, and i also knew CHARLIE BOY would end up a victor. I’m just so thankful for all and all the chance for this picture. I can’t wait for an world to find out Greg Kritikos knock that one out of the park.”
