Firmly in fifth, though I had to think about the last question for a few nanoseconds... I did know the meaning of the smaller word on the Mexican question, though I've no idea what the other word meant.

A character I've never heard of from a show I've never heard of was apparently played by an actor I've never heard of whose brother is also an actor I've never heard of who played another character I've never heard of.

I'd never heard it either, but just thinking about what usually goes into both gave the answer.
