ACME Crimenet

Greg Lee

The Chief

Rockapella | [-Members: Sean Altman, Scott Leonard, Elliot Kerman, Barry Carl, Jeff Thacher-

  • Boy Band: Boy bands were big at the time and Rockapella was brought in to try and cash in on that
  • Breakout Role: Before this show they were just another college A Capella group. Now they're the group everyone thinks of whenever someone brings up the style.
  • Five-Man Band:
  • He's Okay: Rockapella member Scott Leonard would often play a recurring character called the "Dying Informant," where he would often give clues about the whereabouts of the crook of the day before dying. Of course, Greg would always remind us that he wasn't really dead.
  • Large Ham
  • Mr. Fanservice: They were all very pretty men.
  • Phrase Catcher: "Do it, Rockapella!"
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: One of the informants was upstairs neighbor Mrs. Pumpkinclanger, who was played by Barry Carl in drag.
