* Daryl Mitchell as Tommy Webber, the actor who played Lt. Laredo on the TV show as a child.
Corbin Bleu played the 9-year-old Tommy in the film.
The adult Tommy must constantly bear comparisons with his childhood self.
His character on Galaxy Quest had been a Wunderkind pilot, but the real-life Tommy has much more difficulty piloting a real starship and only masters the controls after watching video of his work as a child.
Laredo is a parody of " boy wonder " characters like Wesley Crusher of Star Trek TNG.
