Tim Russ guest starred a bunch of times in Trek. He was in Generations, he was a klingon on DS9, he even got to play his mirror self on DS9.
Wasn't he also in one of the movies?
When Sulu was captain of Excelsior, that's right. I feel like they alluded to this in a Voyager episode, like this was his real first assignment, and then he spent time making a family. So rather than him being a random character in the movie, he was now canonically Tuvok on his first stint with the Federation.
He played a bridge officer on the Enterprise B in Generations. Human by the look of him. So probably not Tuvok.
this would be what we call a retcon.
