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

Spend 1 Minute with Greg Kritikos and you will probably see why this Ny 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 celebrity. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster continues to be when compared with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He could be frequently popular to headline Ny City’s biggest and quite a few legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And now he could be the starring role in the feature comedy CHARLIE BOY, which Kritikos co-wrote with Frederick Stroppel and which features Kelly Le Brock as Donna and Burt Young as Luca.

CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ actual 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 providing time for his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he or she is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming because of his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. When close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces for the extreme with his fantastic prior mob boss Big Angie moves back into 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 your day 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 make Charlie Boy. We’ve worked with this business for years and that i have never read this type of perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to get this movie. And dealing with Greg, what I can advise you, he could be 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 which has a soul-spilling heart, who helped me laugh my face served by one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that is producing CHARLIE BOY together with Kritikos. “Kritikos coupled 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, and I knew CHARLIE BOY would end up successful. I am just so thankful for everyone and all the good luck with this picture. I can’t wait for a world to find out Greg Kritikos knock this place out of the park.”
