A fictional male protagonist whose last name starts with T, who appeared in one (and only one) live-action “kinda sorta military-themed” SF film that involved time travel. Said film was made during the period 1995-1999, was done from an original screenplay, and did not win any major awards. Hmmm… ---

It can’t be Taggart, he was the protagonist on a television program from '79 to '82, and didn’t appear in any films thereafter. It was a plot point that Nesmith hadn’t done anything notable after the TV series. Tongue only slightly in cheek, but wouldn’t the fictional fictional biography be used if our guest were Taggart? ---
