Fight Club (1999)
A threefer! Meat Loaf plays the man who was Robert Paulson and Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars plays the appropriately-named Angel Face, but both of them see their names on the movie poster. However, there is also Ed Kowalczyk, former lead singer of Live, who played a bruised waiter.
Jason's rating:
Jason Schwartzman (formerly of Phantom Planet and currently of Coconut Records) played a super-duper-very-forgettable-mostly-in-the-background role as Gag Halfrunt. It would be easy for someone to miss it.
