No.
Take a DQ for Nicely-Nicely as I was flat out wrong.

When Natalie Wood drowned, her husband Robert Wagner and her maybe-lover Christopher Walken were both aboard the boat.
Correct, Nathan Hale.
This was John Nance Garner, FDR’s first VP, who was in his nineties when JFK made his fateful visit to Texas (his middle name always appears when he’s referred to).
I guess we can stop asking IQs, as we have enough for 21 DQs now.
I don’t think I know this fictional non-sf British guy from after 1975. I yield my two DQs to whoever’d like to ask them.
I just figured out this is Needermeyer from Animal House. What are the rules on rescinding DQs after they’ve been granted but before they’ve been asked? In fairness, you should keep the DQ.
Just some side talk - the character is British, but the film in which he appears is not, right?
And just to seek clarification, the ‘first appeared’ dates are referring to the film, not to the original TV pilot that no one but the most dedicated fan-boy would ever have heard of, right?
Hmm, it might be worth finding out the genre of the film - so far, all we have is not science fiction. Spy? Mystery? Action? Comedy? Western?
Pondering…
I got the feeling that it was a pointed IQ - there is someone who fulfills the requirements of both the IQ and the summary, who could very well be the person that ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness has chosen.
Yes, I am Nigel Tufnel, lead guitarist for Spinal Tap, and owner of amps that go to 11. (David St. Hubbins is the singer). I was inspired by the last round while trying to come up with British ‘T’ guitarists.
Prior to the 1984 release of This is Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner and company produced a sketch comedy pilot for ABC called “The T.V. Show”. This included a mock video for a Spinal Tap tune, Rock and Roll Nightmare. This clip was included as a bonus item on the Critereon Laser Disc (remember those?) release of the film. As far as I know, it has not yet shown up on a DVD or Blu-Ray release.
