It's just one guy. Since his first hit was a song about Superman, I always assumed the "five" was the Superfriends. How about “Five for Fighting”? It’s just one guy.

It's good to know that Laurie has managed to crack the US market, but unfortunately, since German TV insists on synchronizing everything in sight, I won't be able to hear his American accent unless I invest in the DVD collection. I have no doubt that he does a good job, but he does have the advantage of being "in the element". I've been irritated many times by overemphasized US accents in British TV productions (even the otherwise excellent Poirot films with David Suchet keep making the mistake of hiring British actors who can't voice a believeable American). I suppose it's cheaper than hiring an American actor to do it. @ paperboy (33) - Nuts.
