What's It All About? Borrowing the mockumentary format and a character from his previous series "The Nominees," comedian Chris Lilley parodies high-school life while playing three roles in this award-winning Australian comedy. Unlike actors such as Eddie Murphy or Mike Myers, who rely on makeup, prosthetics and fat suits to change onscreen personas, Lilley shifts seamlessly between self-obsessed teenage girl Ja'mie King, Tongan juvenile delinquent Jonah Takalua and power-mad drama teacher Greg Gregson with little more than the change of a wig.
