Greg Kritikos was always destined to be a beloved comedic movie star. This gritty, street-wise, reformed gangster may be when compared with Jackie Gleason for his heart and appeal.

CHARLIE BOY, based loosely on Greg Kritikos’ true to life, follows the storyplot of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos. Charlie now functions as a standup comedian and, after a period of recovery and providing back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens The big apple, he is still burdened through the guilt of his son’s death and friend’s maiming due to his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. So when close friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to the extreme and his prior mob boss Big Angie moves back to town, Charlie’s benevolent and save-the-day attitude and knack for doing all they can to aid others and turn 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 produce Charlie Boy. I have worked within this business for many years and i also haven’t read such a perfectly balanced and honest comedy. I needed to make this movie. And dealing with Greg, what I can tell you, 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 with a soul-spilling heart, who made me laugh my face served by one-liners and improvising,” comments producer Susan Goforth who is producing CHARLIE BOY along side Kritikos. “Kritikos joined 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 turn out successful. I’m just so thankful for anyone and all the fortune on this picture. I can’t wait for an world to view Greg Kritikos knock that one out of your park.”
