CHARLIE BOY follows the story of straight and sober recovering mobster Charlie Borakos (Greg Kritikos) who now works as a stand-up comedian and, after many years of recovery and giving back to his beloved community of Astoria, Queens New York, he is still burdened by the guilt of his son’s death and friend Shake’s (Dave Morrissey Jr.) maiming due to his drinking, drugging and negligence of the past. So when good friend Tommy G’s gambling problem surfaces to the extreme and Charlie’s prior mob boss Big Angie moves back into town, Charlie’s benevolent attitude and knack for doing all he can to help others, turns misfortune into laughter and saves the day.

“It’s easy to see why Burt Young’s career has spanned five decades and that he is still in demand. Since he first became an actor on shows like M.A.S.H., everything he does, Burt always delivers a stellar performance. We are thrilled to have him in CHARLIE BOY,” states executive producer Dominick Martini.

“I have to say Burt Young has been an movie icon for me my entire life,” adds CHARLIE BOY star and co-writer Greg Kritikos. “To have him play my mentor in the film was phenomenal.”
