Movie
Year: 1990
Character: Dr. Tyler

Dr. Tyler is one of the doctors working in the institution where Dr. Sayer (Robin Williams) finds a way to wake up comatose patients. It's a really small role, basically part of the medical staff that didn't believe in Sayer's treatment.
In an old interview, Bradley Whitford said of this movie that many of his scenes didn't make it to the final cut, but he worked in it for two months.

From IMDB:
A new doctor finds himself with a ward full of comatose patients. He is disturbed by them and the fact that they have been comatose for decades with no hope of any cure. When he finds a possible chemical cure he gets permission to try it on one of them. When the first patient awakes, he is now an adult having gone into a coma in his early teens. The film then delights in the new awareness of the patients and then on the reactions of their relatives to the changes in the newly awakened.
