Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend One minute 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 whole new comedy movie by Timothy Hines.
Greg Kritikos was always destined to be a beloved comedic celeb. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster may be compared to Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He or she is frequently sought after to headline Nyc City’s biggest and quite a few legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And today he is the starring role within 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’ true to life, follows the tale of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now works as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and giving back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence from the past. Then when close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces for the extreme and his prior mob boss Big Angie moves back into town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all the guy can to aid others swap misfortune into laughter, saves the afternoon 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 generate Charlie Boy. I’ve worked on this business for several years and I haven’t ever read this type of perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to make this movie. And working with Greg, what I can let you know, he is 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 using a soul-spilling heart, who made me laugh my face off with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that is producing CHARLIE BOY with Kritikos. “Kritikos along 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 prove a success. I’m just so thankful for everybody and all sorts of fortune with this picture. I can’t wait for the world to determine Greg Kritikos knock that one out of the park.”
