TRUTH !!

Chuck Conners was a great athlete. He played for the Boston Celtics and in 1946 broke a backboard during warmups. He was the starting center for the first home game of the newly-formed Celtics; he broke the backboard with a jump shot (not a slam dunk); the game was delayed by an hour. Boston were beaten 57-55 by the Chicago Stags. He also played MLB on the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, from 1949 to 1951. He's mostly known for his television work in shows like "The Rifleman" (1958-1963) and "Branded" (1965-1966).
 
What were the 5? Offhand, I can only think of 3. The peddler in Kansas, the doorman at Emerald City, and the wizard.
Professor Marvel
the squeaky-voiced doorman
the carriage driver (the one with the horse of a different color)
the ostentatious and blubbering guard at the Wizard's chamber
and the Wizard

I always thought the doorman, driver, and guard were all the same person.
