I searched for this question already but couldn't find it anywhere, so I apologise if it's been addressed a trillion times already. Last week I rewatched the film, in line with my strict policy of watching the film once per month. For the first time, I noticed someone who may/may not, is probably/definitely isn't the big daddy P. He's in/isn't in the scene where Marla is filling a cup of coffee after one of the meets, and the narrator pulls Marla aside to tell her something. Shuffling to the foreground there's this tall, thin guy dressed in a blue shirt and, I think, denim jeans. He looks hell like/totally nothing like Mr P. Anyone care to confirm or refute this for me?

The only thing that makes me unsure is that he's wearing this sleazy moustache.

I don't think he's in Fight Club anywhere. At least, I've never heard anything about him being in it and I've been reading threads on here for six years.
But I do know that he visited the set with some friends of his while they were filming and I haven't read every single thread ever created on here. So it's possible, just highly improbable.
He is in the Choke movie though.

I don't think I've ever seen him in the movie, but you never know. IMDB for sure.

Chuck Palahniuk is Brad Pitt.

I know the exact scene you are talking about. I always thought it looked like the "extra" was approaching Marla, maybe to ask her out, when Ed Norton swoops in and steals his thunder.. hence the extra kinda disappears.

I've wondered for awhile if that was Palahniuk, but have never researched it.

No lines. Just a brief appearance.
