In the New Comedy Movie CHARLIE BOY Annunziato Carbone Knocks It Out Of The Park.

 

The world loves a natural talent; basketball has LeBron James, tennis Serena Williams, swimming Michael Phelps. Now movie audiences will have a reason to be all smiles because Hollywood has Annunziato Carbone.

 

“When I met Annunziato Carbone I felt his charisma instantly. Upon having him read for the major part of Tommy G. I realized, I had that rare beast in my midst known as a natural. Baseball had them. The likes of Yogi Berra and Babe Ruth. And now the movies have Annunziato Carbone. In the acting world there are at least a handful of movie superstars that stepped onto the screen without so much as an acting lesson. Stars like Brad Pit, James Woods, Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Jennifer Lawrence, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Evangeline Lily and Johnny Depp. All started without training.”

 

Producer Susan Goforth agrees, “The camera loves Annunziato Carbone and he’s immediately accessible. He’s in the Jimmy Stewart, Tom Hanks category of every man’s man. And he is one of the most genuine human beings I have ever worked with.”

 

“Annunziato is a truly good guy and that comes across on the screen, which added a wonderful layer to his character Tommy G who is making a mess of things in CHARLIE BOY,” adds executive producer Dominick Martini.

 

Greg Kritikos concurs, “He’s really funny. Nunzio has natural timing like I have rarely seen as a stand up comic.”

 

 

Annunziato Carbone was almost not cast in CHARLIE BOY. “In pre-production a previous director who left the project due to personal problems did not warm to Carbone,” explains director Timothy Hines, “When I came on, my work was cut out for me. One of the first things I had to attend to was the casting that had just begun. When I came across Annunziato Carbone, there was something about his photo, his smile, that just made me want to retest him. And he was instantly spectacular. I mean camera ready.”

CHARLIE BOY is the story of Charlie Borakos, a former gangster who split from the mob when his negligence led to his son being killed. Through his grief, he embarks on a journey to right all his wrongs in a bid for redemption. When Charlie reaches out to help his friend Tommy G, who’s life is threatened from gambling debts, Charlie is pulled back into a confrontation with the mob, the results of which cause others in the mob to follow Charlie’s lead and change his entire community of Astoria, New York forever.

 

Annunziato credits his movie family for his performance in “CHARLIE BOY, “All the actors ad actresses I worked with gave me their love and helped show me the way to making my character come to life. I’ve never been in a movie and never took acting classes but the experience I had working with everyone was an education you can’t pay for.”

 

Forever humble, Carbone adds, “I thank everyone I worked with especially Dom Martini for giving me this chance, Greg Kritikos,  because without him this movie would have never have come to be. And especially Timothy Hines for bringing the movie to life and for giving me guidance and working with a first time actor. I am forever thankful to the lovely producer Susan Goforth who built up my confidence with phone calls and love…thank u all.”

Annunziato Carbone said of his acting approach, “Timothy helped me with my approach to developing the character of Tommy G. I found personality traits that I related to.  I love that Tommy G. is charismatic and always looks good and takes care of himself physically…always dappered up…nicely dressed and clean cut. Tommy G listens to freestyle music like TKA, Cynthia and Johnny O. When he’s in the clubs like I always used to be it would be house music or techno.”

Carbone reflected further, “I have a very eclectic taste in music and a wide love of most music genres. I love 80’s hair and music–that’s what I grew up on; Ozzy, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden–and when I’m relaxing I listen to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin oldies and opera, so it was fun finding common ground with Tommy G. Also Tommy G’s cooking, LOLOL, that scene with the ready made dinner is amazing cause you know in real life I’m an amazing chef and tonight I’m actually gonna make fresh homemade mozzarella.”

“Annunziato Carbone joins the film scene with an excellent base for an acting career,” adds producer Susan Goforth, “He is the successful owner and operator of a family construction, pool masonry and landscape design business. He is a world-class chef. He is a pillar of Franklin Square, New York. In all facets of life Nunzio is consistent, humble and true. I see him throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game, he will be so adored for his role in this film.”

“I just can’t wait to share Annunziato’s very funny performance as Tommy G., a man who is obsessed with the belief that he looks just like actor Tom Hardy in CHARLIE BOY,” beams Timothy Hines.
