A method for recommending audio/video relating to a character unknown to a user, comprising:

• receiving, at a remote server, a first audio/video viewed by a user;
• splitting, by the remote server, the first audio/video into a first plurality of segments;
• determining, by the remote server, that a first character appears in a threshold number of the first plurality of segments;
• determining, by the remote server, whether the first character has a corresponding first data structure in a character viewing profile for the user;
• in response to determining that the first character does not have the corresponding first data structure in the character viewing profile, inserting, by the remote server, the first data structure in the character viewing profile;
• in response to determining that the first character has the corresponding first data structure in the character viewing profile, updating, by the remote server, the first data structure in the character viewing profile;
• receiving, at the remote server, a second audio/video, including the first character, to be viewed by the user;
• splitting, by the remote server, the second audio/video into a second plurality of segments;
• determining, by the remote server, that a second character appears in the threshold number of the second plurality of segments;
• determining, by the remote server, whether the second character has a corresponding second data structure in the character viewing profile;
• and
• in response to determining that the second character does not have the corresponding second data structure in the character viewing profile, recommending, by the remote server, a third audio/video to the user for the second character.
