Greg Kritikos was always going to be a beloved comedic movie star. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster has been in comparison with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal. He could be frequently desired to headline Ny City’s biggest and many legendary comedy clubs, including Gotham, Carolines and Dangerfield’s. And today he’s the starring role in 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 story of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now works as a standup comedian and, after many years of recovery and providing back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens Ny, he could be still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming due to his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. So when good friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces towards the extreme and the prior mob boss Big Angie moves into town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all he is able to to assist 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 make Charlie Boy. I’ve worked on this business for many years and i also have never read a real perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I had to make this movie. And dealing with Greg, things i let you know, he 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 helped me laugh my face served by one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth that is producing CHARLIE BOY together with Kritikos. “Kritikos joined with Frederick Stroppel’s comedic writing, the leadership of director Timothy Hines and executive producer Dominick Martini and a heaven-sent cast and crew, i knew CHARLIE BOY would prove a success. I am just so thankful for all and all the chance about this picture. I can’t wait for a world to see Greg Kritikos knock that one from the park.”
