Favorite NY Comic Greg Kritikos turns Misery into Movie Magic in CHARLIE BOY
Spend One minute with Greg Kritikos and you will probably 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 going to be a beloved comedic movie star. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has become in comparison with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He is frequently sought after to headline Ny City’s biggest and most 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 that also features Kelly Le Brock as Donna and Burt Young as Luca.
CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ actual 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 time for his beloved community of Astoria, Queens The big apple, he’s still burdened through the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence of history. When colleague Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to 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 he can to help you others swap 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 within this business for decades i haven’t read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to get this movie. And dealing with Greg, what I let you know, he could be 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 helped me laugh my face with one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that’s producing CHARLIE BOY along with Kritikos. “Kritikos coupled 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 knew CHARLIE BOY would come out a winner. I’m just so thankful for everybody and all sorts of good fortune about this picture. I can’t wait for world to find out Greg Kritikos knock this place out from the park.”
