Comedic actor Volodymyr Zelenskiy is preparing for a major transition in his life: from being a popular television fixture to becoming the president of Ukraine.

The actor, who has no political experience, won the first round of the vote on March 31, leaving veteran politicians in the dust. Currently, he holds a huge lead in the polls over his opponent, incumbent President Petro Poroshenko, just days before the runoff election on April 21.
