This Human officer piloted the Defiant under the command of Worf against the Borg during the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373. When the Defiant's life support systems failed, he was beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-E with the rest of the Defiant crew. (Star Trek: First Contact)

His stats say it all. One of the high command crew in the game.
I’m fascinated by his proficiency. Only a 110 point spread but one of the higher minimum rolls in the entire game. I can’t shake the feeling that he might be important for the work being done on understanding how voyage scores are applied.

That severely undersells the moment. A Borg Cube is coming to assimilate all of Earth and Starfleet is in a desperate fight to stop them. Many Starfleet ships have been destroyed including the Admiral's, the Defiant has taken critical damage and Worf orders that the Defiant ram the Borg Cube destroying the Defiant, Commander Worf and the other crew in a futile hail mary when Helmsman Wyatt interjects, "Sir there's another starship coming in. It's the Enterprise." Suddenly there is hope, and a all but certain defeat becomes a victory!
That's one of my favorite moments for the reason you gave.

Also, I have no idea who the hell Adam Scott is.
He's one of those actors famous for doing cult sitcoms - most notably Parks and Recreation, the Amy Poehler sitcom that aired throughout the 2010s as a "spinoff" of The Office. I'm a bit jealous of you - you're in a position to go and discover that whole glorious show from the beginning.
I'd pay good money for someone to re-do the CGI in this scene and have the Enterprise-D fly in.
I've also always thought it would have been a better movie with the D. More emotional with the Borg taking over the crew's home for the last 10 years and all.

But that's just me.
You're right it would have been more emotional for us to watch the "D" get slowly assimilated by the Queen, etc. On the other hand, some of the set that was specifically designed with the Borg takeover in mind wouldn't have had the same sense of scale, etc. What I liked about this scene where the "E" saves the day for Starfleet was that it establishes how much more powerful the new Sovereign-class starship is. We already know from experience that the "D" couldn't have done that. In a way, that also heightened the drama with the Queen's cunning to take it over later in the film.

And it allowed us to have the emotional moment in the other movie when the Ent D Saucer crashes into the planet.

Ah. I don't really watch much in the way of TV shows ordinarily. I'm more of a movie guy. Though even there, I frequently get the reaction, "You mean you haven't seen ____?!" Nope, never seen Avatar or Se7en. I have, however, seen and loved the 2010 Abbas Kiarostami film Certified Copy and the 1982 masterpiece Night Shift.
As for First Contact, I've long felt there was an entirely missed opportunity. We know Worf wasn't the only Defiant survivor beamed aboard. I presume our Helmsman Wyatt would have been one of them. I think it would have set up the Worf/Picard showdown later in the movie if there had been a division between the Defiant people and the Enterprise people. Nothing major; just a line or two to tell us that the officers hunting Borg with Worf came from the Defiant. Something to underscore that Worf isn't just the guy who pushes the green button anymore. He's become used to command, and people are used to following him.
Not only that, but it would give greater context to Picard's argument that Worf just wants to blow up the ship and run away; Worf has run away, and he's not an Enterprise guy anymore. He can say, "Blow up the ship" because it's not his ship. That feels more loaded to me, and less abrupt. Of course, neither Moore or Braga asked me.

Until contradicted canonically, I choose to believe that Wyatt is a team of tribbles wearing a human costume.
