wp_list_authors wordpress Author List want to fetch gravatar and bio

Question

Hi,

I was running wordpress blog with multiple user. So I created the authorlist.php template to show all of the author list in page.

My template code is

<?php
/*
Template Name: Author List
*/
?>


<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="main">
    <div id="pageleft">

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="main-page-container">
    <div class="page-top"></div>
    <div class="page-container">
            <div class="authors-list">
                <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php wp_list_authors('optioncount=1'); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="clear">
            </div>
        </div>
    <div class="page-bottom">
    </div>


<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

 <!--/index-->
<br />
 <?php get_footer(); ?>

I used wp_list_authors, so there's no option to show gravatar and biography of each user. I want to show it. Any chance to help me out ? Thanks. Sorry for my bad english.

With Regards,
