OK, discuss amongst yourselves, then please ask your earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions, one apiece, by noon Weds. EST.

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…

DQ: Are you Commander Peter Taggart, as played by Jason Nesmith, as played by Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest?

That was my guess as well. If that’s not it, I can’t think of anybody else.

I thought of that movie, but I only considered the characters’ names, not the characters’ characters’ names.

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?

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

It is indeed

Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart

Good job, Prof. P. “Never give up - never surrender!”

That’s why I didn’t consider him a possibility.

Anywho, as EH’s list shows it hasn’t been used for awhile…
