Movie Character to Actor #1

that's not true. Think when Norton was at the bar and the bartender with the neck brace was talking to him. Norton says, "who am I?" The bartender says, "you're the man who gave me this. You're Tyler Durden." It's the only time he is actually identified by name at all, apart from Cornelius or Rupert or other made up names.

There are also scenes in flashback when Norton is playing the Durden personality, reenacting the same scenes previously played by Pitt.

Also, anyone who enjoyed this quiz, I've got a bunch about popular roles and actors in my own quizzes... including a fun series about roles played by more than one actor. Check it out.

The credited role for Norton is not Tyler Durden. It doesn't matter what other people call him - he's only actually Durden when he's the other actor.

But... but.. but... I actually made a perfectly valid point. Norton *does* play Tyler Durden in the film, regardless of what it says on iMDB. Rest easy, Erik.

I suppose you're technically correct, but really Tyler Durden is his imaginary friend who looks like Brad Pitt. Norton's character isn't actually called Tyler Durden.

Right. Helena Bonham Carter calls him Tyler Durden, too. Lots and lots of characters in the film interact with Norton as if he is Durden (because he is). Pitt doesn't play Durden. Pitt plays Norton's characters' imaginary or psychological projection of his idealized self, whom he sees as Tyler Durden.

There's a layer of Highlander under the layer of Bond, which makes it all make sense.
