You did well, but not perfect.

Actually I just did a check Russell Crowe was in Neighbours, although I can not be sure he played in Neighbours at the same time as Guy Pearce. As I can not verify, I will count it as correct.

The other person that actually played a lead role in Neighbours for quite some time was Kylie Minogue!
